Before installing or connecting the unit, please read
the following thoroughly for proper use.
WARNING
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product
damage.
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, 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 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.
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 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.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF
THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a
physician immediately.
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 OBSTRUCT AIRBAGS OR ANY OTHER SAFETY
RELEVANT PARTS OF THE VEHICLE WHILE INSTALLING
THE PRODUCT.
Doing so may lead to failure of the vehicle's safety systems and
results in severe injury or death. If you are unclear where such parts
are located, please review your car's user manual or contact your car
manufacturer.
CAUTION
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.
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.
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. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a
rubber grommet to prevent the wire's insulation from being cut by the
metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE
OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture
or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in
product failure.
PRECAUTIONS
• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before
installing HCE-C252RD. This will reduce any chance of damage to
the vehicle's system 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.
• Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or the vehicle.
When in doubt, consult your Alpine dealer.
