WARNING
PRECAUTIONS
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and
refer to “Operating Instructions” on page 3 for proper use.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product
damage.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP
METAL EDGE.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
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.
IMPORTANT
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (-) battery post before
installing your CDA-137EBT. 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 CDA-137EBT to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended
circuit of the CDA-137EBT 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.
The CDA-137EBT uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other
units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an adaptor
to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized Alpine
dealer for assistance.
Be sure to connect the speaker (-) leads to the speaker (-) terminal.
Never connect left and right channel speaker cables to each other or to
the vehicle body.
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space provided
below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial number or the
engraved serial number is located on the bottom of the unit.
