WARNING

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "WARNING" are intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions. Failure to heed the instructions will result in severe injury or death.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERY OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so may result in an accident.

CAUTION

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle and "CAUTION" are intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating instructions. Failure to heed the instructions can result in injury or material damage.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing.

PRECAUTIONS

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C (+140°F) and –10°C (+14°F) before turning your unit on.

Tape Slack

Check and make sure any slack in the tape is taken up before inserting the tape into the unit. A loose tape can get caught in the mechanism and cause damage to the unit and the tape itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil or a similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn until all the slack has been taken up.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.

DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.

Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

2-EN

Excessively Thin Tape

C-120 type cassette tapes are not recommended for use in automobile tape players.

Precision Tape Mechanism

Prevent any foreign objects from entering the cassette opening as the precision mechanism and tape head may be damaged. Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can damage the tape head.

Tape Head Cleaning

Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20 hours of use) of the tape head with a wet type head-cleaning cassette tape (available at audio stores) is necessary for best performance.

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse blows more than once, carefully check all electrical connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle's voltage regulator checked.

Maintenance

If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity and water

• Excessive dust
