GUIDE FOR INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Please read this GUIDE FOR INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS and the OWNERS
MANUAL thoroughly to familiarize yourself with each control and function. We at ALPINE hope
that your new DVI-9990R will give you many years of listening enjoyment.
In case of problems when installing your unit, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer.

Points to Observe for Safe Usage

Read this manual carefully before starting operation and use this system safely. We cannot be
responsible for problems resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this manual.
This manual uses various pictorial displays to show how to use this product safely and to avoid
harm to yourself and others and damage to your property.
Here is what these pictorial displays mean. Understanding them is important for reading this
manual.
Meaning of displays

Warning

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can

result in serious injury or death.

Caution

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can

result in injury or property damage.

Warning
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do so may
result in fire or electric shock.
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.

2-EN

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 BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside
and may result in fire.
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 SHIFTLEVER. 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 wires 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 DVI-9990R. This
will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.
Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may
cause the unit to malfunction or damage to the vehicles electrical system.
When making connections to the vehicles 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 DVI-9990R to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended
circuit of the DVI-9990R 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 DVI-9990R 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 assistance.

Slide the DVI-9990R into the dashboard. When the unit is in place, make sure the locking pins
are fully seated in the down position. This can be done by pressing firmly in on the unit while
pushing the locking pin down with a small screwdriver. This ensures that the unit is properly
locked and will not accidentally come out from the dashboard. Install the Detachable Front
Panel.
