MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. 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 device to the 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. 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 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 a short circuit, fire or electric shock. 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 SHIFT LEVER. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc. and results in serious accident. 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 fire. 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 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, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous. USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS. Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury. 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. 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. CALIBRATION REQUIRED. If this camera system is not calibrated, its detection function will not work properly. It must be calibrated before use. Calibration is also necessary after remounting. BE CAREFUL WHEN SETTING THE ALARM VOLUME. Set the alarm volume to an audible level. If the alarm cannot be heard due to the volume of the car radio, etc., it might result in an accident. BE AWARE OF DIFFERENCES IN DETECTION SENSITIVITY LEVELS. If the sensitivity level of the object detector is changed from a high setting to a low setting, be aware of differences in detection levels. Objects that were detected under the previous level will not be detected anymore, and this might result in an accident. BE AWARE OF THE OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE OBJECT DETECTION FUNCTION. The warning function only works when the gear lever is in the reverse position (R). Using the detection feature with reverse OFF may result in an accident. DO NOT USE WITH A TOW TRUCK. If reversed while connected to a tow truck, it will falsely detect the tow truck. Also, it cannot detect objects near the tow truck, which may result in an accident. DO NOT JUDGE SITUATIONS BASED ONLY ON THE WARNING OF THE OBJECT DETECTION FUNCTION. Warnings may not always be given even when vehicles or people are in danger of being hit. This is due to many factors such as vehicle speed or distance from your vehicle. DO NOT IGNORE OBJECT DETECTION FUNCTION WARNINGS. If an object detection warning occurs, check the surrounding area thoroughly. CAUTION This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage. DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA AND/OR OBJECT SENSOR 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 AND/OR OBJECT SENSOR 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. EXCEPT FOR THE CAMERA AND/OR OBJECT SENSOR, 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. 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. 3-EN
