~WARNING
This symbol means
important
instructions. Failure to heed them
can
result in serious injury or death.
WHEN
USING A
CAMERA
SYSTEM,
THE
DRIVER
MUST
VISUALLY
CHECK
ACTUAL
CONDITIONS AROUND
THE
VEHICLE.
MAKE
SURE
THERE
ARE
NO
PERSONS
OR
ANIMALS
IN
THE
AREA
IN
WHICH
YOU
ARE
MANOEUVRING
OTHERWISE
YOU
COULD
INJURE
THEM.
A camera assists the driver by sending images to the screen
showing conditions in view
of
the camera. The camera
uses a wide-angle lens. Therefore, there
is
a difference in
distance perspective between
what
is
normally seen
and
what
appears
on
the screen. Also, the images shown
by
the
rearview camera are reversed, so as to appear the same
as
what
is
seen
through
the rearview mirror.
The camera may
not
perform to full capability due to
variables such as:
weather conditions such
as
hard rain, snow,
fog
or
mud
extremely high or l
ow
temperatures near camera
slope
of
vehicle and/or roadway
direct exposure to very bright light such as headlamp
or
bright
sunlight
moving from very dark to very bright light
and
vice versa such
as in park
in
g garages or tunnels
extremely low light areas
walls
or
objects that are located diagona
ll
y in relation to the
camera
retracted mirrors that change camera viewing angle
open
doors or trunks
changes to height
of
vehicle due to loading capacity
or
hydraulic
suspensions
obstacles located
at
the corner
of
the
vehicle
DO
NOT
DISASSEMBLE
OR
ALTER.
Doing so
may
result in
an
accident, fire
or
electric shock.
KEEP
SMALL
OBJECTS
SUCH
AS
BOLTS
OR
SCREWS
OUT
OF
THE
REACH
OF
CHILDREN.
Swa
ll
owing
them
may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a Doctor immediately.
USE
THE
CORRECT
AMPERE
RATING
WHEN
REPLACING
FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in 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.
BEFORE
WIRING, DISCONNECTTHE
CABLE
FROM
THE
NEGATIVE
BATTERY
TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock
or
injury due
to electrical shorts.
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
DAMAGE
PIPE
OR
WIRING
WHEN
DRILLING
HOLES.
When
drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take
precautions so as
not
to co
nt
act, damage
or
obstruct pipes,
fuel lines, tanks
or
electrical wiring. Failure to take such
precautions
may
result in fire.
MINIMISE DISPLAYVIEWINGWHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking
ahead
of
the vehicle and cause
an
accident.
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
INSTALL
IN
LOCATIONS
WHICH MIGHT
HINDER
VEHICLE
OPERATION
,
SUCH
AS
THE
STEERING
WHEEL
OR
GEAR
LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision
or
hamper
movement etc.
and
results in serious accident.
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
ROUTE
ELECTRICAL
CABLES
NEAR
HOT
OR
MOVING
PARTS
Route the cables
and
wiring away from
hot
or
moving
parts,
and
fix them securely to avoid heat/mechanical
damage to the cable insulation, which may result in
shortcircuit, fire
or
electric shock.
MAKE
THE
CORRECT
CONNECTIONS.
When making connections to the vehicle's electrical
system, be aware
of
the factory installed
compo
nents ( e.g.
on-board
computer). Do
not
tap into these leads to provide
power for this unit.
When
connecting the device to
th
e
fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit
of
the device has the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so
may
result in fire
or
damage to the unit
and/or
the vehicle.
When
in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.
USE
THIS
PRODUCT
FOR
MOBILE
12
VOLT
APPLICATIONS.
Use for
other
than its designed application may result in

or
other
injury.
CHECK
THAT
THE
CAMERA
MOUNTINGS
IS
ATTACHED
SECURELY,
AND THATTHE
SCREWS
ARE
TIGHT
BEFORE
DRIVING.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
WHEN
INSTALLING

DO
SO
AFTER
PARKING
THE
CAR
IN
A
LEVEL,
SAFE
PLACE,
TURNING
OFF
THE
ENGINE,
AND
APPLYING
THE
HANDBRAKE.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
WHEN
USING A
DRILL
TO
MAKE
A
HOLE,
TAKE
PRECAUTIONS
SUCH
AS
WEARING
GOGGLES
SO
FRAGMENTS
DO
NOT
GET
INTO
THE
EYES.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
~CAUTION
This symbol means
important
instructions. Failure to heed them
can
result in injury or material property
damage.
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.
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 wirin
g.
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.
CONNECT
LEADS
PROPERLY
Be
sure to connect the colour coded leads according to
the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit
to malfunction
or
cau
se
damage to the vehicle's electrical
system.
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
th
e nearest Alpine Service Center for repairing.
EXCEPT
FOR
THE
CAMERA
, DO
NOT
ATTACH
ANY
PARTS
TO
AREAS
WHICH
WILL
GET
WET,
OR
WHERE
THERE
IS
A
LOT
OF
HUMIDITY
OR
DUST.
Failure
to
do
so
may
result in fire
or
damage.
DO
NOT
ATTACH
THE
CAMERA
TO
FLUOROCARBON
RESIN
FINISHED
CAR
BODIES
OR
GLASS.
Doing so reduces the strength
of
th
e camera's
moun
ti
ng.
This could cause it to fall off
and
cause injury
or
damage to the car's body.
DO
NOT
ATTACH
THE
CAMERA
TO
ANY
SURFACE
WHERE
THE
ENTIRE
ADHESIVE
SURFACE
CANNOT
BE
APPLIED.
Doing so reduces the strength
of
the camera's mounting.
This could cau
se
it
to
fall off
and
cause injury
or
damage to the car's body.
NOTICE
About Care
of
Device
Do
not assert any excess pressure to the camera or the
mounting,
as
this could cause the camera direction to shift, or
the camera
mounting
bracket to
come
off.
To
prevent the camera lens,
mounting
and
co
rds from changing
co
lour
or
shape, or from deteriorating, wipe with a chemical-
free,
damp
cloth.
Do
not
use an automatic car wash
or
high-pressure washer.
Doing
so
could cause the camera to come off, damage to the
device cord,
or
may
allow water to enter the camera or the inside
of
the car.
In
some
cases, to attach the device, a hole
must
be
dr
ill
ed in the
car body, requiring use
of
touch-up paint (retail product) for
rust
-prevention,
and
should be prepared beforehand.
Be
sure to disconnect the cable from the
(-
) battery post before
installing your
HCE
-C2 IO0RD/HCE-C2600FD. This will reduce
any chance
of
damage to the unit
in
case
of
a short-circuit.
Be sure to
connect
the colour
coded
leads according to
the diagram. Incorrect connections
may
cause the unit to
malfunction
or
damage to the vehicles electrical system.
When making connections to the vehicles 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
HCE
-C2 100RD/
HCE
-C2600FD to
the fuse box, make sure the fuse for
the
intended circuit
of
the
HCE
-C2 100RD/HCE-C2600FD 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.
