SAFETY WARNING AND CAUTION

WARNING
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death.

  • DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
    Doing so may result in an accident, fire, or electric shock.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
    USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
    Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock, or other injury.

  • MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
    Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.

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

  • 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.

  • DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
    Avoid installing the unit in locations with a high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.

  • HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
    The wiring and installation of this unit require special technical skills 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. 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.

Setup Before Using

About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-distance wireless technology to connect a mobile phone or personal computer. This allows you to enable a hands-free call or transmit data between Bluetooth-compatible devices.

  • • Depending on the Bluetooth version, a Bluetooth-compatible device may not be able to communicate with this adapter.
    • Proper function of this adapter with all Bluetooth-compatible devices is not guaranteed.
    • Depending on the surroundings, Bluetooth wireless connection may be unstable.
    • When you place a call or perform setup operations, be sure to stop your car in a safe place.
    • For details on the control (selection, enter, cancel) from the connected unit, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the respective unit.
    • Depending on the connected Bluetooth-compatible device(s), the function may differ. Also, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the connected device(s).
Before Using Hands-Free Phone/Audio Function

Before using the hands-free phone/audio function, the following settings need to be made.

  1. Be sure to set “INT MUTE” (in the setup function of the connected head unit or Digital Media receiver) to OFF.
    • Before making sound interruption on the Bluetooth-compatible device, make sure that INT MUTE is set to OFF. (The initial setting on the unit is OFF.)
  2. Set “Bluetooth IN” or “Bluetooth” to ADAPTER*. (Refer to the Owner’s Manual of the connected units.)
  3. Turn the ignition key off (ACC OFF) and on again (ACC ON).
    • Before using a hands-free phone, it must be paired with the adapter. Refer to “Bluetooth SETUP” (pages 4-5).
    • If “Bluetooth IN” or “Bluetooth” is set to OFF once, the communication to the adapter is canceled. To resume communication: reset to ADAPTER, set the ignition key from ACC to OFF once, and then to ON again.
    • When a Bluetooth-compatible device is not used, set “Bluetooth IN” or “Bluetooth” to OFF, and remove the adapter. If the Bluetooth connection of the adapter is maintained, a connection (pairing) error to the adapter may occur depending on the mobile phone, and result in malfunction.
How to connect to a Bluetooth-compatible device (Pairing)

Hands-Free Phone Control

About the Hands-Free Phone

Hands-free calls are possible when using a HSP (Head Set Profile) and HFP (Hands-Free Profile) compatible mobile phone with a ALPINE Bluetooth compatible CD head unit, AV head unit, or Digital Media receiver.

  • Avoid performing a hands-free call in a city where traffic is congested, or in the narrow street.
  • Shut the windows while calling.
  • If both persons use a hands-free call to each other, or you make a call in a noisy location, you may have difficulty hearing the other person’s voice, or transmitting to the other person.
  • Certain voices may sound unnatural, depending on the person using the telephone, or on telephone line condi-tions.
  • Certain mobile phone features are dependent on the capabilities and settings of your service provider’s network. Additionally, certain features may not be activated by your service provider, and/or the provider’s network settings may limit the feature’s functionality. Always contact your service provider about feature availability and functionality.
  • All features, functionality, and other product specifications, as well as the information contained in the Owner’s Manual are based upon the latest available information and are believed to be accurate at the time of printing. Alpine reserves the right to change or modify any information or specifications without notice or obligation.

Installation

Velcro fastener Mounting

For the sake of safety, mount the adapter in one of the following locations.

  • Do not mount the adapter under your feet. Do not step on the adapter, or press excessively on it.
  • Before mounting the adapter, secure enough space at its upper side to prevent noise or to result in malfunction when sending or receiving data.
  • Depending on the adapter mounting location noise may occur when using a Bluetooth compatible device, or a malfunction may result when sending or receiving data. In this case, mount the adapter in another location.

Attach one side of the Velcro fastener to the box.
Remove the backing from the other side of the Velcro strip. Gently press the adapter onto its selected mounting location.

Mounting the Microphone

For the sake of safety, mount the microphone in the following location.

  • In a stable and secure location.
