The auto memory function picks up the TV broadcast signals in the area where you are and stores them automatically in memory.
NOTES
• TV stations with weak signals are not be picked
up, therefore not being stored in memory.
• If you drive from one broadcasting area to anoth-
er, the stored channels will not be tuned in. In this case, perform the auto memory function again to store the stations in another area.

Maintenance
To prevent damage to the system ex­terior
• Do not apply pesticides, benzine, thinner or other volatile substances to the unit. The cabinet surface primarily con­sists of plastic materials.
• Do not wipe with benzine, thinner or similar substances because this will result in discoloration or removal of the paint.
• When a cloth with a cleansing chem­ical is used, follow the caution points:
- Do not leave the unit in contact with
rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.
- Do not use cleansers which have
polishing granules because this could damage the surface of the unit.
CAUTION
If water drops or similar wet substances get inside of the monitor via the liquid crystal panel surface, it may cause a malfunction.
Clean dirt by wiping lightly with a soft cloth
When the unit is very dirty, wipe with a well-wrung cloth dipped in a kitchen cleanser (neutral) thinned by water and then go over the same surface with a dry cloth.
(Since there is the possibility of water drops getting inside of the unit, do not directly apply cleanser to the surface.)

Installation and Connections
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 2 and 3 of this manual thor­oughly for proper use.
WARNING
WARNING
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 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 fire or electric shock.
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 installation or ground connec­tions. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire, etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERY OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
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 accidents.
CAUTION
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 specified 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.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
Before installing
• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post
before installing your TUE-T112P. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a shortcircuit.
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to
the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage the vehicle's electrical sys­tem.
• When making connections to the car’s electrical sys-
tem, 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 TUE-T112P to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the TUE-T112P 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 TUE-T112P uses female RCA-type jacks for con-
nection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA con­nectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.
• The diversity antenna supplied with this unit is designed specifically for use with the ALPINE mobile color monitor system. (It cannot be con­nected to the car radio.)
• Do not rub the antenna or the anten­na’s cable with alcohol, benzine, thinner, gasoline or other volatile substances.
• Attach to the inside of the car win­dow glass.
• Be sure to wipe the window surface where the antenna will be attached with a clean cloth to remove mois­ture, dirt, dust, wax, oil or other sub­stances. (If there is moisture, oil or other wet substances on the attach­ment surface, the attachment tape will not stick well and easily come off.)
IMPORTANT
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial number plate is located on the bottom of the unit.

• Be sure to attach the antenna so that the adhesive surface is not on glass heating wires or glass antenna wires.
• Identify the exact attachment loca­tion and confirm that the antenna will not interfere with a heating wire, glass antenna or wiper motor.
