WARNING

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

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 NOISE WHILE DRIVING.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

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

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

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

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

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

DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.

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

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 the TV/Video while driving the vehicle. The driver may be distracted from looking ahead and an accident could occur. If the product is not installed correctly, the driver will be able to watch the TV/Video while driving the vehicle and may be distracted from looking ahead causing an accident. The driver or other people could be severely injured.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

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

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.

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.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.

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

CAUTION

PRECAUTIONS

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.

KEEP FINGERS AWAY WHILE THE MOTORIZED FRONT PANEL OR MOVING MONITOR IS IN MOTION.

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

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+ and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the battery may cause fire or personal injury.

Temperature

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

Fuse Replacement

When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse(s) 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.

Installation Location

Make sure the TMX-R705 will not be exposed to:

• Direct sun and heat • Excessive dust

• High humidity • 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.

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

Dome Light Bulb Replacement Precautions

When replacing the dome light bulb, replace with one having the specified 12V, 5W capacity. Use of a different capacity bulb may cause damage to the unit. Note that damage under such circumstances will not be covered by the warranty.

To the customers using wireless headphones (sold separately)

If you turn ACC or power source of the monitor off while you are listening with wireless headphones, a big noise occurs through the headphones. So, be sure to take wireless headphones off your ears before you turn ACC or power source of the monitor off.

To the customers using wired headphones (sold separately)

When you use the wired headphones with this unit, it is recommended to use the ones of impedance of 24 – 45 ohms.

Opening the Monitor Display

NOTE

The TMX-R705 is a precision device. With careful handling, its performance can be maintained at a high level for a long time.

1 Press the OPEN/CLOSE button of the main unit

or press the POWER button, press and hold the OPEN/CLOSE button of the supplied remote

control for at least 2 seconds. The unit beeps 3 times and opens the monitor automatically . Then the power of the monitor turns on.

NOTES

• Since this is an overhead monitor, the display will be lowered when opened and raised when closed. If the monitor touches an obstacle while it is being lowered, the unit will stop immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the OPEN/ CLOSE button again to close the monitor. If you press the POWER button or the OPEN/CLOSE button while the monitor is being opened or closed, the monitor stops opening or closing and cannot be closed automatically. In this case, press the POWER button or the OPEN/CLOSE button again to close the monitor.

• When the movable monitor is opened, do not place any object on the monitor and be careful not to bump or apply any pressure to the monitor while it is open. This can cause damage to the mechanism.

• Under low ambient temperature conditions, the display may be dark for a short period of time immediately after the power is turned on. Once the LCD has warmed up, the display will return to normal.

• The TMX-R705 draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the TMX-R705 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the battery may be discharged. If this lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time.

An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back ON before using the TMX-R705. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the Installation.

• 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.

Closing the Monitor Display
