PRECAUTIONS
1. 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. Have your car's voltage regulator checked
also. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself; return the unit to your Alpine dealer or
the nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.
2. In order to ensure proper performance, be sure the temperature in your car is within
the range of 14°F (—10°C) to 140°F (60°C) before turning your player on. Good air
circulation is essential, especially in hot weather, to prevent internal heat build-up in
the unit.
3. C-120 type cassette tapes are not recommended for use in automobile tape players.
4. Prevent any foreign objects from entering the cassette opening as the precision
mechanism and tape head may be damaged.
5. To protect your cassette tapes, store them in a cool place away from dust, dirt, and
strong magnetic sources such as speaker, electric motors and TV sets.
6. Make sure any slack in the tape is taken up before inserting the tape into the unit. A
loose tape could cause damage to the unit and the tape itself. Tighten the cassette by
inserting a pencil or a similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn until all the slack
has been taken up.
CLEANING: When playback sound begins to deteriorate, it is time to clean the playback
head. Insert a special head cleaning cassette into the tape-loading slot and allow it to run
for a few minutes to remove any foreign matter.
CAUTION: In the event of road vibration or rapid acceleration or vehicle collision, this unit
may become dislodged from its case unless the handle is fully down. This could result in
personal injury to occupants of the vehicle or physical damage to the unit. Please see the
illustrations below for further information on how to properly secure the handle.

OPERATION
Traffic Information Receiving
This model is equipped with traffic information receiving apparatus to be used in West
Germany where the traffic information is broadcast in FM. The following is how to use
this unit to receive traffic information broadcasting.
1. Select FM position.
2. Depress the SDK switch @ and tune to a station. If the station is a traffic information
station, the SK indicator @ will glow and show the reception of a broadcast from a
traffic information station.
NOTE: SK Indicator
When SK signal is received irrespective of the SDK position, the SK indicator @ will
illuminate.
3. In the SDK mode, stations other than traffic information stations are muted and cut
out. Therefore, it is easy to select a traffic information station.
4. As the signal of the tuned traffic information station becomes weak, the SK indicator
@® will extinguish, then after the lapse of 30 seconds, a rhythmical alarm will sound to
urge retuning to another stronger station. If the reception of further traffic information
is required, tune in the desired traffic information station. When received, the alarm
will stop and the SK indicator @ illuminates. Since the alarm will continue if no signals
from any other traffic stations can be received, release SDK switch @ to stop the
alarm and receive normal broadcasting.
5. When the unit is playing a cassette tape with the SDK switch @ pushed in and tuned
to a traffic information station, the tape play is interrupted and changed to FM radio if
the pre-tuned station begins a traffic information message. When the message is
over, the unit reverts to tape play automatically.
6. Even if the VOLume control @ is set to the minimum position, the volume of the traffic
information will be automatically adjusted to proper level. After the message, the
sound volume returns to the previously adjusted level.
7. If traffic information reception is no longer necessary, release SDK switch @ for normal
radio reception.
NOTE: This unit has a special volume control on the bottom of the unit for adjusting the
volume level for SDK reception and the alarm which will sound when there is no
SK signal in the SDK mode. Set the VOLume control @ to the minimum level
position, and adjust the special volume control on the bottom of the unit to your
desired level with a screwdriver.

VORSICHTSMASSREGELN
|
1. Durchgebrannte Sicherungen nur durch solche ersetzen, deren Amperezahl dem auf
der Sicherungshalterung aufgedruckten Wert entspricht. Falls die Sicherungen
mehrere Male hintereinander durchbrennen, die elektrischen Anschliisse auf
Kurzschlu& hin Uberpriifen. Den Spannungsregler des Fahrzeugs ebenfalls Uberpriifen
lassen. Versuchen Sie auf keinen Fall, das Gerat selbst zu reparieren; Uberlassen Sie
eine Reparatur unbedingt einem autorisierten Alpine-Service.
2. Vor dem Einschalten des Gerdats sicherstellen, dal die Temperatur im Fahrzeuginneren
zwischen —10°C und +60°C liegt, damit ein normaler Betrieb gewahrieistet ist. Bei
groRer Hitze besonders gut auf Luftzirkulation im Fahrzeug achten, damit keine
Schaden durch Warmestau im Gerat auftreten.
3. In dem Alpine-Radio-Cassettenrecorder soliten keine C-120-Cassetten verwendet
werden.
4. Keine fremden Objekte durch die Cassettendffnung ins Innere des Gerats einfiihren.
Dadurch kénnen der Prazisionsmechanismus und der Tonkopf beschadigt werden.
5. Verwahren Sie Ihre DAT-Bander vorsorglich an staub- und schmutzgeschitzten, kihlen
Orten auf. Nicht in der Nahe von starken Magnetquellen, z.B. Elektromotoren oder
Lautsprechern, lagern.
6. Darauf achten, da& das Band vor Eingabe in den Recorder straff gespannt ist. Ein
lockeres Band kann das Gerat beschadigen und auch selbst Schaden nehmen.
Straffen Sie das Band, indem Sie mit einem Bleistift oder einem ahnlichem Instrument
in das Spindelloch fassen und so lange drehen, bis das Band wieder fest gespannt in
der Cassette liegt.
REINIGUNG DES TONKOPFES: Sobald sich eine Verschlechterung der
Wiedergabequalitat bemerkbar macht, muf der Wiedergabekopf gereinigt werden. Legen
Sie ein spezielles Reinigungsband ein und lassen Sie es einige Minuten laufen, damit alle
FremdkOrper entfernt werden.
WARNUNG: Bei starken Erschiitterungen durch StrafSenunebenheiten, Beschleunigung
oder Fahrzeugkollision kann das Gerat sich aus der Halterung ld6sen, wenn es nicht richtig
eingerastet ist. Dadurch kénnen Verletzungen der Insassen des Fahrzeuges oder
Beschadigungen des Gerates entstehen. Die untere Abbildung zeigt die richtige
Handhabung und Sicherung des Griffes.
