Pre c a ution  
Wa rning  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER  
Attempts to disassemble or alter may  
lead to an accident, fire and/or electric  
shock.  
KEEP SMALL ARTICLES OUT OF THE  
REACH OF CHILDREN  
Store small articles (batteries, screws,  
etc.) in places not accessible to  
children. If swallowed, consult a  
physician immediately.  
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING  
WHEN REPLACING FUSES  
Replace fuses only with fuses of the  
same ampere rating. Failure to do so  
may result in a fire and/or damage to  
the vehicle.  
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROB-  
LEM APPEARS  
When problems appear, stop using  
the system immediately and contact  
the dealer from whom you purchased  
the equipment. Some problems which  
may warrant immediate attention  
include a lack of sound, noxious odors  
or smoke being emitted from the unit,  
or foreign objects dropped inside the  
unit.  
DO NOT OPERATE THE REMOTE  
CONTROL WHILE DRIVING  
Do not change settings while driving.  
If operation requiring a prolonged  
view of the display is required, stop  
the vehicle in a safe location before  
attempting operation.

English  
Pre c a ution  
Ca ution  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIA-  
TOR PANELS  
Do not block air vents or heat dis-  
charge plates. Blocking them will  
cause heat to build up inside and may  
result in fire.  
DO NOT RAISE THE VOLUME EXCES-  
SIVELY  
Keep the volume at a level where you  
can still hear outside noises while  
driving. Driving while unable to hear  
outside sounds could cause an accident.  
DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT  
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE  
Do not use this equipment for pur-  
poses other than those listed for a  
vehicle. Failure to do so may result in  
an electric shock or an injury.  
KEEP FOREIGN OBJECTS OUT OF THE  
CASSETTE COMPARTMENT SLOT  
Keep any foreign objects, including  
fingers, out of the cassette compart-  
ment slot.  
STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE CARRY-  
ING OUT ANY OPERATION THAT  
COULD INTERFERE WITH YOUR  
DRIVING  
If loading or unloading a cassette  
interferes with your driving, stop the  
vehicle in a safe location before  
attempting operation.  
DO NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY WITH  
ONE NOT SPECIFIED. INSERT WITH  
THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY  
Do not replace with other than speci-  
fied battery. When inserting the  
battery, be sure to observe proper  
polarity (+ and –) as instructed.  
Battery rupture or chemical leakage  
can cause an injury or equipment  
malfunction.

Tape Slack  
Check and make sure any slack in the tape is  
taken up before inserting the tape into the unit.  
A loose tape can get caught in the mechanism  
and cause damage to the unit and the tape  
itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil or a  
similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn  
until all the slack has been taken up.  
Excessively Thin Tape  
C-120 type cassette tapes are not recom-  
mended for use in automobile tape players.  
Precision Tape Mechanism  
Prevent any foreign objects from entering the  
cassette opening as the precision mechanism  
and tape head may be damaged.  
Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can  
damage the tape head.  
Tape Head Cleaning  
Periodic cleaning (approximately every 20  
hours of use) of the tape head with a wet type  
head-cleaning cassette tape (available at audio  
stores) is necessary for best performance.  
Fuse Replacement  
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement  
must be of the same amperage as shown on  
the fuse holder. If the fuse blows more than  
once, carefully check all electrical connections  
for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle's  
voltage regulator checked  
Maintenance  
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair  
the unit yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer  
or the nearest Alpine Service Station for  
servicing.
