Installation And Connections; Warning; Caution; Precautions - Alpine PKG-2100P Owner's Manual

Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please
read the following and pages 3 and 4 of this manual
thoroughly for proper use.

Warning

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fi re 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 fi re, 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 fi re 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 fi re.
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 fi re, etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES 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 SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement, etc., and
result in a serious accident.

Caution

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 specifi ed 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 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.

Precautions

Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before
•
installing your unit. 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 unit to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the
intended circuit of the unit 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 unit uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other
units (e.g. amplifi er) having RCA connectors. You may need an
adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized
ALPINE dealer for assistance.
