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. CHECK WIRING WHEN ATTACHING. Double-check your wiring to ensure all connections are correct and secure. Also, do not apply unnecessary force to the harness. This can result in battery failure, performance failure, connector damage, or wire breakage. • 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 and wireless device near the camera. • Doing so may result in noise on the screen or malfunction. It is recommended to use a mobile phones or wireless devices away from the camera. • About Camera Installation Location 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. • Choose the mounting locations for the control unit, camera and buzzer carefully. This location must be able to support the product weight when mounted by the supplied screws. Otherwise, damage to the vehicle may result. 4-EN NOTICE • About Care of Device Do not assert any excess pressure to the camera, object sensor or the mounting, as this could cause the device's direction to shift, or the device mounting to come off. • To prevent the camera lens, object sensor, mounting and cords from changing colour or shape, or from deteriorating, wipe with a chemical-free, damp cloth. • When washing the vehicle, do not use an automatic car washer, or high-pressure washer. Doing so could cause the camera and/or object sensor to come off, damage to the device cords, or may allow water to enter the camera and/or object sensor. • Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (-) battery post before installing your HCE-C300R. 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-C300R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the HCE-C300R 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 device, 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 shortcircuit, fire or electric shock. • About Calibration Settings Obstacle detection performance adjustment and guidance mark settings configuration require that the camera installation information be entered. If the camera information is not entered, correct detection results may not be provided. Therefore, be sure to perform calibration. When the camera is reinstalled or when the vehicle is changed, be sure to perform readjustment. • About Rear Camera The rear camera of this camera system is a dedicated product. Do not connect it to other cameras.
