1. When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement fuse 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. Also have your car's voltage regulator
checked. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Return it 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, direct
sun and strong magnetic sources such as electric motors, speakers and TV sets.
6. Check’and 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.
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.
Improper
CLEANING

special head cleaning cassette into the tape-loading slot and allow it to run for a few
minutes to remove any foreign matter.
