Operating Instructions
WARNING
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.
WHEN USING A CAMERA SYSTEM, THE DRIVER MUST
VISUALLY CHECK ACTUAL CONDITIONS AROUND
THE VEHICLE. MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PERSONS
OR ANIMALS IN THE AREA IN WHICH YOU ARE
MANEUVERING OTHERWISE YOU COULD INJURE THEM.
A camera assists the driver by sending images to the screen
showing conditions in view of the camera. 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 screen. Also, the images shown by the rear camera are
reversed, so as to appear the same as what is seen through the
rearview mirror.
The camera may not perform to full capability due to
variables such as:
weather conditions such as hard rain, snow, fog or mud
extremely high or low temperatures near camera
slope of vehicle and/or roadway
direct exposure to very bright light such as headlamp or
bright sunlight
moving from very dark to very bright light and vice versa
such as in parking garages or tunnels
extremely low light areas
walls or objects that are located diagonally in relation to
the camera
retracted mirrors that change camera viewing angle
open doors or trunks
changes to height of vehicle due to loading capacity or
hydraulic suspensions
obstacles located at the corner of the vehicle
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR SCREWS OUT
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
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 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 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.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking
ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.
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 GEAR LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement
etc. and results in serious accident.
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, gear
lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.
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 shortcircuit, fire or
electric shock.
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.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12 VOLT
APPLICATIONS.
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,
electric shock or other injury.
CHECK THAT THE CAMERA MOUNTINGS IS ATTACHED
SECURELY, AND THAT THE SCREWS ARE TIGHT BEFORE
DRIVING.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
WHEN INSTALLING OR CHECKING A CAMERA, DO SO
AFTER PARKING THE CAR IN A LEVEL, SAFE PLACE,
TURNING OFF THE ENGINE, AND APPLYING THE HAND
BRAKE.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
