In Case of Difficulty

If you encounter a problem, please review the items in the following check list. This guide will help you isolate the problem if the unit is at fault. Otherwise, make sure the rest of your system is properly connected or consult your authorized Alpine dealer.

Symptom

No function or display.

Unclear picture display.

No picture display.

Cause

Car's ignition is off. Incorrect connections. Vehicle's battery is weak.

Monitor's power is Off. Fluorescent tube is exhausted.

Brightness control is set for minimum brightness level.

Navigation system is in a "sleep" mode.

Protective circuit is on because of high temperature.

Incorrect or open connection with the Monitor.

Turn the ignition on. Check connection and remedy. Check the voltage of vehicle's

battery. Turn the monitor's power on. Replace the fluorescent tube.

Adjust the monitor's brightness in the navigation system's setup menu.

Press "ENTER" on the remote control to wake up the navigation system.

Wait until the temperature inside the vehicle comes down to the operating temperature range (45°C).

Check the connection and remedy.

Solution

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION OR CREATE HAZARDS FOR VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or

hamper movement.

DO NOT CONTACT, DAMAGE OR OBSTRUCT PIPES, FLUID LINES OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire or cause an accident or

injuries.

DO NOT USE NUTS OR BOLTS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WHEN MAKING INSTALLATION OR GROUND CONNECTIONS. Never use safety-related parts such as bolts or nuts in the steering or

brake systems or tanks to make wiring installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause brake failure, other accident or injury.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. When problems occur such as a lack of sound or video, foreign objects inside the unit, smoke coming out, or noxious odors, stop use immediately and contact the dealer where you bought the equipment. Failure to do so may result in an accident or injury.

DO NOT OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT OR LOOK AT THE SCREEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. Operating the equipment may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and

cause accident. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before operating this equipment. DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. If the unit is not

installed correctly the air bag may not function correctly and when triggered the air bag may cause the monitor to spring upwards causing an accident and injuries.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to do so may cause fire or accident to occur. ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED. Route the cables and wiring

so as not to be crimped by moving parts or make contact with sharp or pointed spots which might damage the wiring. Failure to do so may cause failure of unit or vehicle.

DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCESSIVELY. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside noises while driving. Driving while unable to hear outside noises could be the cause of accident.

DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN STATED FOR THE VEHICLE. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury.

HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS. The wiring and installation of

this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this unit to have the work done.

Caution

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY. Use of other than

designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place as parts that come loose can create hazards.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST. A high incidence of moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may cause smoke or fire.

Poor picture brightness.

Spots or dotted lines/ stripes appear.

Brightness control is not set at the correct level.

Caused by neon signs, highvoltage power lines, CB transmitter, other vehicle's spark plugs, etc.

Adjust the brightness in the navigation system's set-up mode.

Change the location of your vehicle.

Installing the Monitor

Caution: If your vehicle has passenger side air bags, make sure the monitor is not mounted in an area where the air bag will be deployed.

1 Assemble the mounting bracket and temporarily mount the monitor.

Note:

Always use the TV mounting bracket supplied.

2 Carefully choose the installation location.

Select a location that is as flat as possible.

Notes:

• Mounting hints

• Top of the monitor should not exceed the top of the dash-board when viewed from the drivers seat.

• The mounting surface should be strong and stable.

• Position the monitor and viewing angle so it can be easily seen.

• Do not install this unit in a location that will obstruct the operation of any safety device (such as air bags or passive restraint systems).

• If the surface of the dash board is finished with other than plastic such as leather, wood, or cloth, damage may occur when the mounting bracket is removed.

3 Peel the protective paper from the double stick tape on the mounting bracket. Secure the bracket at the

installation location. Clean the installation location with the cleaner supplied.

Notes:

• Warm the installation location with a dryer before putting the mounting bracket into place.

• Do not apply force or moisture for 24 hours after installation.

• If the bracket is not attached securely, mount the bracket with the screws provided.

• ★: If the mounting surface is curved, reform the base of the mounting bracket to match its shape.

4 Connect the monitor.

Insert the connector into the back of the monitor until a click is heard.

5 Mount the monitor on the mounting bracket.

Use the cord clamper to dress the cord to prevent possible entanglements.

6 Adjust the height and angle of the monitor for the best viewing angle.

Determine the height and angle. Tighten the height adjusting screw and the angle adjusting screw securely to fix the monitor.

Note:

Make sure the angle adjustment screw is tightened securely so that the monitor does not move when the monitor button is pressed.
