Installation and Connections

Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 2 and 3 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.
WARNING
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 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.
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.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.
CAUTION
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.
20-EN

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.
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.
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.
Precautions
· Be sure to disconnect the negative cable from the (­) pole of the battery before connecting your TDM9505RB/TDM-9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM-9501R to avoid short circuits.
· Use the correct ampere rating when replacing fuses. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
· Be sure to connect the leads correctly according to the diagram. Otherwise malfunctioning of the unit and/or damage to the vehicle may occur.
· 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.
· Use only vehicles with a 12 volt negative (­) ground. Check with your dealer if you are not sure. Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
· You must be very careful when connecting wires to the vehicle’s electrical system. Be sure you do not use leads of factory installed components (like an on-board computer). When connecting TDM-9505RB/TDM9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM-9501R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the TDM9505RB /TDM-9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM-9501R 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 TDM-9505RB/TDM-9503R/TDM-9501RM/TDM9501R uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connections. You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.
