Installation; Removal - Alpine CDE-183BT Owner's Manual

Installation

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.
