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.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS. Use for other than its designed application
may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or
product damage.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND. (Check with your dealer if you are not
sure.) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.

BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.

DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS. Arrange
wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring
that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be
extremely hazardous.

DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES. Nev er cut a wa y cable insulation to supply po wer to other
equipment. Doing so will e xceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES. When drilling holes in the chassis for
installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or
electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.

DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND
CONNECTIONS. Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-related

system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or ground connections. Using such parts
could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.

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.

Assemble the mounting bracket and temporarily mount the monitor.

Note:

Always use the TV mounting bracket supplied.
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.

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.

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

Mount the monitor on the mounting bracket.
Use the cord clamper to dress the cord to prevent possible entanglements.

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.

For connection, refer to the Owner's Manual of the product connected.

Included with the Navigation System

Rotate the VOLUME control UP to increase the volume and DOWN to decrease.

Notes:

• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image will remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to
LCD technology and is normal.

• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it
will return to normal.

manufacturing conditions, this fact is unavoidable.
