Alpine HCE-C200R Owners Manual - Page 4

CAUTION This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage. 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. EXCEPT FOR THE CAMERA ITSELF, 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. 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 wiring. 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 the nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing. DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA MOUNTING TO FLUOROCARBON RESIN FINISHED CAR BODIES OR GLASS. Doing so could cause the strength of the camera mounting to weaken, which could cause it to fall of and cause accidents, injury, or damage to the car body. DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA MOUNTING TO ANY SURFACE WHERE THE ENTIRE ADHESIVE SURFACE CANNOT BE APPLIED. Doing so could cause the strength of the camera mounting to weaken, which could cause it to fall of and cause accidents, injury, or damage to the car body. PRECAUTIONS • 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 to come off. • To prevent the camera lens, mounting and cords from changing colour or shape, or from deteriorating, wipe with a chemicalfree, damp cloth. • When washing the car, do not using an automatic car washer, or high-pressure washer. Doing so could cause the camera to come off, damage to the camera cord, or may allow water to enter the camera or the inside of the car. • Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (-) battery post before installing your HCE-C200R/HCE-C200F. 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 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 HCE-C200R/HCE-C200F to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the HCE-C200R/HCE-C200F 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. • In some cases, to attach the camera, a hole must be drilled in the car body, requiring use of touch-up paint (retail product) for rust-prevention, and should be prepared beforehand. • 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 short-circuit, fire or electric shock. • About Images Images of the rearview camera are the images of the rearview mirror. The same images appear on the display as on the rearview mirror. 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 display. • About Power Connection Connect a reverse input cable (orange/white) to the power cable of the rear lamp. For details, consult a dealer purchased the camera, or car dealer. • Connect this to a power cable of the rear lamp, but not to the positive (+) of the rear lamp signal cable. • Do not use a mobile phone or wireless device near the camera. Doing so may result in noise on the screen or malfunction. It is recommended to use a mobile phone or wireless device away from the camera. • If there is no reverse input on the monitor, this connection is not possible. • Before installing, make sure there is a enough space to be able to install the camera. • If possible, install the camera in the centre of the bumper or other fitting. If the camera is installed at a distance left or right of centre, the image may differ from the real view. • The HCE-C200F cannot be used independently, the HCEC200R is also required. • Confirming the Display Function To connect the unit, confirm that the monitor will require a compatible RCA pin jack. 3-EN
