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.

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-C305R. 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-C305R to 
the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of 
the HCE-C305R 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 short-
circuit, 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.

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.
