Operating Instructions

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

WARNING

WARNING

This symbol means important
instructions. Failure to heed them can
result in serious injury or death.

INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT
THE DRIVER CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS
THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY
BRAKE IS APPLIED.

It is dangerous (and illegal in many states) for the
driver to watch TV/Video while driving a vehicle.
Installing this product incorrectly enables the driver
to watch TV/Video while driving. This may cause a
distraction, preventing the driver from looking ahead,
thus causing an accident. The driver or other people
could be severely injured.

DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.

Watching video may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

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.

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

Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such
as emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals
(train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result
in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME
LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING
DAMAGE.

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

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 fi re, etc.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES 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 fi re or electric shock.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V
APPLICATIONS.

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

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 may cause an accident and
injuries.

CAUTION

This symbol means important
instructions. Failure to heed them can
result in injury or material property
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 Center for
repairing.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from
looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

2-EN

PRECAUTIONS

Product Cleaning

Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the
product. For more severe stains, please dampen the
cloth with water only. Anything else has the chance of
dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between
+45°C (+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your
unit on.

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.

Installation Location

Make sure the TME-S370 will not be installed in a
location subjected to:

• Direct sun and heat

• High humidity and water

• Excessive dust

• Excessive vibrations

• 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.

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

Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very
complex. Because of this, it was deemed necessary to
place these functions into a special screen. This will
restrict operation of these functions to times when
the vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the
driver’s attention will be on the road and not on the
TME-S370.

This has been done for the safety of the driver and
passengers. The setup operation cannot be made if the
car is moving. The car must be parked and the parking
brake must be engaged for the procedure described
in the Owner’s Manual to be valid. The warning
“Operation is not allowed while driving,” will be
displayed if any attempts are made to perform these
operations while driving.

Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit,
please read the following and pages 2 to 3 of
this manual thoroughly for proper use.

WARNING

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS

Failure to make the proper connections may result in
fi re 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 fi re, 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, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can
be extremely hazardous.

DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.

Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to
other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current
carrying capacity of the wire and result in fi re 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 fi re.

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 fi re etc.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR
SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

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

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT
HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE
STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.

Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper
movement etc. and results in serious accident.

CAUTION

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 product to have the work done.

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL
THEM SECURELY.

Be sure to use only the specifi ed accessory parts. Use
of other than designated parts may damage this unit
internally or may not securely install the unit in place.
This may cause parts to become loose resulting in
hazards or product failure.

ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.

Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts
(like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This
will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If
wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber
grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being
cut by the metal edge of the hole.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH
MOISTURE OR DUST.

Avoid installing the unit in locations with high
incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that
penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.

18-EN

PRECAUTIONS

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery

post before installing your TME-S370. This will
reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of
a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according
to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause
the unit to malfunction or damage to the vehicle’s
electrical system.

• When making connections to the vehicle’s
electrical system, be aware of the factory installed
components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not
tap into these leads to provide power for this unit.
When connecting the TME-S370 to the fuse box,
make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the
TME-S370 has the appropriate amperage. Failure
to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or
the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your ALPINE
dealer.

• The TME-S370 uses female RCA-type jacks for
connection to other units having RCA connectors.
You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If
so, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer
for assistance.

• The Display must be completely retracted in the
casing when installing. If it is not, problems may
occur.
