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.

 CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions. 
Failure to heed them can result in injury or 
material property damage.

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.

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.

CONNECT LEADS PROPERLY.

Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to 
the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit 
to malfunction or cause damage to the vehicle’s electrical 
system.

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 Center for repairing.

EXCEPT FOR THE CAMERA, 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.

DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA TO FLUOROCARBON 
RESIN FINISHED CAR BODIES OR GLASS.

Doing so reduces the strength of the camera’s mounting.This 
could cause it to fall off and cause injury or
damage to the car’s body.

DO NOT ATTACH THE CAMERA TO ANY SURFACE WHERE 
THE ENTIRE ADHESIVE SURFACE CANNOT BE APPLIED.

Doing so reduces the strength of the camera’s mounting.This 
could cause it to fall off and cause injury or
damage to the car’s body.

NOTICE

About Care of Device

Do not assert any excess pressure to the camera or the 
mounting, as this could cause the camera direction to shift, 
or the camera mounting bracket to come off.
To prevent the camera lens, mounting and cords from 
changing colour or shape, or from deteriorating, wipe with 
a chemical-free, damp cloth.
Do not use an automatic car wash or high-pressure washer.
Doing so could cause the camera to come off, damage to 
the device cord, or may allow water to enter the camera or 
the inside of the car.
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.
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post 
before installing your HCE-C500 series. This will reduce 
any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

About Rear Camera

The rear camera is optimised for use in this system. as a 
dedicated product, it should not be used in other systems.

Do not use mobile phones and wireless devices near the 
camera.

Doing so may result in noise on the screen or malfunction. 
It is recommended to use 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 center of the bumper. If the camera is installed 
off-center, the image may differ from the actual view. 
Calibration is necessary.

Confirming the Display Function

To connect the unit, confirm that the monitor will require a 
compatible RCA pin jack.
