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.
Cause
Car's ignition is off.
Incorrect connections.
Turn the ignition on.
Check connection and remedy.
Solution
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. 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 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.
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.
CAUTION
No picture display.
Poor picture
brightness.
Vehicle's battery is weak.
No fuse or blown fuse.
Brightness control is set for
minimum brightness level.
Incorrect or open connection.
Brightness control is not set at
the correct level.
Check the voltage of vehicle's
battery.
Check the cause and replace
the fuse.
Adjust the brightness.
Check the connection and
remedy.
Check each control.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS. Failure to do so may cause
personal injury or damages to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or
the nearest Alpine Service Center for repairing.
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 par ts. 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 wires' 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.

To avoid unnecessary signal wiring, it is better to mount the Unit as close as possible to the NVE-N851A.
DO NOT MOUNT THE UNIT IN LOCATIONS THAT WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF MOISTURE OR EXTREME
HEAT (such as the engine compartment).
The Unit can be mounted by using self-tapping screws or Velcro™ tape. Make sure you have all the necessary
parts and tools. Then, begin mounting according to one of the following procedures:
Screw-down Mounting (Fig. 1):
1. Using the unit as a template, hold it at its mounting location and mark the holes to be drilled. Before drilling,
make sure that there are no objects that could be damaged behind the mounting surface.
2. Drill holes and secure the unit with self-tapping screws (M4 x 14) supplied.
Velcro™ Tape Mounting (Fig. 2):
This installation method is suggested when the mounting location does not permit drilling.
USE THIS METHOD ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS MOUNTED ON A HORIZONTAL SURFACE. NEVER MOUNT A
UNIT UPSIDE-DOWN USING THE VELCRO™ TAPE.
1. Remove the adhesive protective paper from one side of the Velcro™ tape.
2. Attach the exposed adhesive side to the underside of the Unit, in a central location. Do not cover the serial number.
3. Make sure the mounting location is clean, dry and free from contaminants.
4. Remove the protective strip from the other side of the Velcro™ pad.
5. Press the unit onto its mounting location.
