PRECAUTIONS

3-EN
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRINGWHEN 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 INTHE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMSTO 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.
DO NOT INSTALLTHE MONITOR NEARTHE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. If the unit is not
installed correctly the air bag may not function correctly and when triggered the air bag may
cause the monitor to spring upwards causing an accident and injuries.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside
and may result in fire.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OFTHE REACH OF CHILDREN. Swal-
lowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONSWHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS
THE STEERINGWHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper
movement etc. and results in serious accident.
Caution
HAVETHE 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.
ARRANGETHE 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 LOCATIONSWITH 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.

4-EN
Precautions
• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before installing your PXA-H900. 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 PXA-H900 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended
circuit of the PXA-H900 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 PXA-H900 uses female RCA-type jacks for connection 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.
Wiring Connections
Improper wiring connections could cause serious damage to your audio system. Be sure you:
1. DO NOT connect (–) wires from left and right speakers together.
2. DO NOT ground any speaker wires.
3. DO NOT run wires where they may be pinched or cut.
4. DO NOT leave bare speaker terminals exposed. They may contact the vehicle chassis and
cause a short.
Fuse
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement fuse 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. Do not attempt to repair the
unit yourself; return it to your Alpine dealer or nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.
Temperature
In order to ensure proper performance, be sure the temperature in your vehicle is above 14 F
(–10 C) and below 140 F (60 C) before turning your unit on. Good air circulation is essential to
prevent internal heat build-up in the unit.

To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.
• Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness.
• Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.
• Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove any paint, dirt or grease if
necessary) of the car chassis.
• If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible.
Your Alpine dealer carries various noise suppressors. Contact them for further information.
• Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for
further information.

NOTES:
• When using the PXA-H900 with a non-Ai-NET head unit, +12V is required on this line to turn on the equalizer. If your
head unit does not have a remote-on or power-antenna turn-on wire, an SPST switch must be connected between an
ignition source and this terminal. The PXA-H900 can then be turned on using this switch.
The PXA-H900 can be used with any head unit. However, only an Alpine Ai-NET compatible head unit will be able to
take full advantage of all the features and functions of this processor.
• For the ground cord (sold separately) and battery power cord (sold separately), pass the wires through the included

18-EN
Installing with wires only (no terminals)
The hexagonal screw must be used when installing with wires only (without terminals). We
strongly recommend having connections made by your store of purchase.
If you wish to make connections yourself, read the instructions below carefully and be sure to
connect properly.
• When making connections, be sure to use the included hexagonal screw and hexagonal
wrench.
• For safety, leave the power cord unplugged until all connections have been completed.
• Do not carry the PXA-H900 by its cord. The cord may be damaged and the PXA-H900 may
fall.
1. Check the thickness of the wires.
NOTES:
• Use wires larger than the PXA-H900’s fuse capacity.
• Wire sizes usable with the PXA-H900 are AWG8 to AWG10.
• If you do not know the thickness of the wires, contact your store of purchase, a service shop or/andAlpine service
center.
2. Peel of 7 to 10 mm of the cord’s sheathing (the insulation in vinyl or other material) and expose
the core (the conductor).
NOTES:
• If the exposed section is too short, the current will not flow properly, resulting in the PXA-H900 not operating or breaks
in the sound.
• Making the exposed section too long may lead to short-circuit.
3. Pass the wire through the terminal board cover.
4. Remove the screw mounted on the PXA-H900. Insert the cord’s core into the lead terminal and
fasten it with the hexagonal screw and hexagonal wrench. The cord should now be securely
fastened.
NOTE:
Be sure that the cord is fully inside the lead terminal and that not a single wire of its core is sticking out. If even a single
wire is sticking out, this may lead to short-circuit with the vehicle’s body or the PXA-H900, resulting in fire or malfunction.
5. Mount the terminal board cover on the PXA-H900.
