THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN RE-
PLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or dam-
age to the product. Return it to your authorized Al-
pine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Center for
repairing.
DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTER-
IES. INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLAR-
ITY.
When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe
proper polarity (+ and -) as instructed. Rupture or
chemical leakage from the battery may cause fire or
personal injury.

If the fuse(s) blows more than once, carefully check
all electrical connections for shorted circuitry. Also
have your vehicle's voltage regulator checked.
Maintenance
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the
unit yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the
nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.
Installation Location
Make sure the TUE-T112P will not be exposed to:
• Direct sun and heat

Maintenance
To prevent damage to the system ex-
terior
• Do not apply pesticides, benzine,
thinner or other volatile substances
to the unit.
The cabinet surface primarily con-
sists 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 chem-
ical 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.
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.)
CAUTION
If water drops or similar wet substances
get inside of the monitor via the liquid
crystal panel surface, it may cause a
malfunction.

Installation and Connections
Before installing or connecting the
unit, please read the following and
pages 2 and 3 of this manual thor-
oughly 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 CONNEC-
TIONS.
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 connec-
tions. 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.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
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 spe-
cial 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 result-
ing 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 wir-
ing. 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 MOIS-
TURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high inci-
dence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that pen-
etrates into this unit may result in product failure.

PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
• 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 sys-
tem.
• 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 pro-
vide 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 con-
nectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other
units. If so, please contact your authorized ALPINE
dealer for assistance.
Before installing
• The diversity antenna supplied with
this unit is designed specifically for
use with the ALPINE mobile color
monitor system. (It cannot be con-
nected to the car radio.)
• Do not rub the antenna or the anten-
na’s cable with alcohol, benzine,
thinner, gasoline or other volatile
substances.
• Attach to the inside of the car win-
dow glass.
• Be sure to wipe the window surface
where the antenna will be attached
with a clean cloth to remove mois-
ture, dirt, dust, wax, oil or other sub-
stances. (If there is moisture, oil or
other wet substances on the attach-
ment surface, the attachment tape
will not stick well and easily come
off.)
• 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 loca-
tion and confirm that the antenna will
not interfere with a heating wire,
glass antenna or wiper motor.
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.
