Precautions

WARNING

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

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.
- Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions.
- Failure to do so may result in an accident.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
- Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.
- Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME
LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
- Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
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.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
- Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
- Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
- Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.
DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.
- Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
- Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.
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 INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.
- Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc., and results in serious accident.
DO NOT FOLLOW ROUTE SUGGESTIONS IF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM INSTRUCTS YOU TO PERFORM AN UNSAFE OR ILLEGAL MANEUVER, OR PLACES YOU IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR AREA.
- This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions by this system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe driving practice.

CAUTION

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

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.
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.
KEEP FINGERS AWAY WHILE THE MOTORIZED FRONT PANEL OR MOVING MONITOR IS IN MOTION.

Installation

INE-W928R users

To install the INE-W928R, refer to the manual in the separately purchased installation kit for each car type.

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 INEW920R/ INE-W928R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the INE-W920R/INE-W928R 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 Display must be completely retracted in the casing when installing. If it is not, problems may occur.

Before installing, make sure that the opening and closing of the display will not interfere with operation of the gear shift. (INE-W928R Only)
Install at an angle between horizontal and 30°. Note that installing at an angle outside of this range will result in a loss of performance and possibly damage.
Mounting the Microphone.
For safe use, make sure of the following:
- location is stable and firm.
- driver’s view and operations are not obstructed.
- microphone is located where the driver’s voice can be easily picked up (on the sun visor, etc.).
- When you speak into the microphone, you should not have to change your driving posture. This may cause a distraction, taking your attention away from safely driving your vehicle. Carefully consider direction and distance while mounting the microphone. Confirm that the driver’s voice can be easily picked up at the selected location.
Remove the mounting sleeve from the main unit.
- Slide the unit into the mounting sleeve and secure it.

For INE-W920R

ALPINE-INE-W920R-In-Dash-GPS-Navigation-Receiver-
fig-43

*1 If the installed mounting sleeve is loose in the dashboard, the pressure plates may be bent slightly to remedy the problem.
*2 The supplied face plate may be mounted.

When your vehicle has the Bracket, mount the long hex bolt onto the rear panel of the INE-W920R and put the Rubber Cap on the hex bolt. If your vehicle does not have the Mounting Support, reinforce the head unit with the metal mounting strap (not supplied). Secure the ground lead of the unit to a clean metal spot using a screw (*1) already attached to the vehicle’s chassis.
- Connect all the leads of the INE-W920R according to details described in the CONNECTION section.
- For the screw marked “*2,” use an appropriate screw for the chosen mounting location.
Slide the INE-W920R into the dashboard until it clicks. This ensures that the unit is properly locked and will not accidentally come out from the dashboard.

Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (sold separately)

(If the ACC power supply is not available)

ALPINE-INE-W920R-In-Dash-GPS-Navigation-Receiver-
fig-45

If your vehicle has no ACC power supply, add an SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) and fuse (sold separately).
The diagram and the fuse amperage shown above are in the case when INE-W920R/INE-W928R is used individually.
If the switched power (ignition) lead of the INE-W920R/INE-W928R is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle’s battery, the INE-W920R/INE-W928R draws some current (several hundred milliamperes) even when its switch is placed in the OFF position, and the battery may be discharged.
