Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the

following and “Operating Instructions” of this manual

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.

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 your CDE-110/110C/110E/110UB. 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 provi

de power for this

unit. When connecting the CDE-110/110C/110E/110UB to the fuse

box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the CDE-110/

110C/110E/110UB 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

CDE-110/110C/110E/110UB

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 a

ssistance.

• 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.

attached to the vehicle’s chassis.

• For the screw marked “*2”, use an appropriate screw for the chosen

mounting location.

Connect each input lead coming from an amplifier to

the corresponding output lead coming from the left

rear of the CDE-110/110C/110E/110UB. Connect all

other leads of the CDE-110/110C/110E/110UB according

to details described in the CONNECTlONS section.
