• Read this manual carefully before using this system
components. They contain instructions on how to use this
product in a safe and effective manner. Alpine cannot be
responsible for problems resulting from failure to observe
the instructions in this manual.
• This manual uses various pictorial displays to show you
how to use this product safely and to alert you to
potential dangers resulting from improper connections
and operation. Following are the meanings of these
pictorial displays. It is important to fully understand the
meanings of these pictorial displays in order to use this
manual and the system properly.
• This product may be used with software applications.
Please follow all usage instructions and warnings when
using this product at all times. Do not use this product or
any software application in a manner which will hinder
safe operation of your vehicle.
WARNING
• Operation of the system while driving is dangerous.
Users should stop vehicle before operating the
software.
• Road conditions and regulations take precedence
over information contained on the map display:
observe actual traffic restrictions and circumstances
while driving.
• This software is designed for use exclusively in the
unit. It cannot and may not be used in conjunction
with other hardware.
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious injury
or death.
INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE
DRIVER CANNOT WATCH TV/VIDEO UNLESS THE
VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE PARKING BRAKE IS
APPLIED.
It is dangerous for the driver to watch TV/Video while
driving a vehicle. Installing this product incorrectly enables
the driver to watch TV/Video while driving. This may cause a
distraction, preventing the driver from looking ahead, thus
causing an accident. The driver or other people could be
severely injured.
DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.
Watching the video may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.
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 NOISES WHILE DRIVING.
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as
emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train
crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result in an
accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR
MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.
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.
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.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in 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.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
Use for other than its designed application may result in
fire, electric shock or other injury.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or
product damage.
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.

8-EN
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.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER
VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL
OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement
etc. and results in serious accident.
CAUTION
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.
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.
