Installation
Caution:
Do not install the monitor near the front passenger seat air bag system.
<Mount it using the supplied bracket>
1. Assemble the supplied bracket and mount the monitor temporarily.
Note: Always use the supplied bracket or equivalent.
2. Verify the installation location.
Select a flat surface and temporarily mount the unit. Use adhesive
tape, etc.
Notes:
• Mounting hints
• Top of the monitor should not exceed the top of the dash when
viewed from the driver’s seat.
• Use a stable mounting surface.
• Angle the monitor for easy viewing.
• In a vehicle with a front passenger air bag, do not install the unit
where it will interfere with the operation of the safety systems.
• If the surface of the dash board is finished with other than plastic
(leather, wooden panel, cloth covered panel, etc.), there will be
some damage if the bracket is removed.
• Installation close to other equipment (such as a GPS antenna) may
give rise to mutual interference. Please pay careful attention to the
installation location and maintain sufficient space between other
equipment.
3. Remove the monitor from the bracket.
4. Peel the protective paper from the double-stick tape on the bracket’s
base.
Clean the mounting location with a suitable cleaner.
Notes:
Warm the mounting location with a dryer, etc. and then place the
bracket into position.
Do not apply force or moisture for 24 hours after installation.
If the bracket is not attached securely with just the tape, use the
supplied screws to complete the installation.
If the mounted surface is curved slightly, reform the base to fit to its
shape.
5. Mount the monitor to the bracket.
Thread the mounting screw into hole at the bottom of the monitor.
Secure the monitor by tightening the screw. Depending upon the
location, the bracket can also be mounted using the supplied nut to
slide into the back of the monitor. Thread the bracket mounting screw
into the nut. Slide the nut in the channel on the back of the monitor
and adjust the height and tighten.
Dress the monitor’s cable using the cord clamp provided.
6. Adjust the height and angle of the monitor for easy visibility.
Determine the height and angle. Tighten the height and angle
adjusting screws to secure the monitor.
NOTE:
The A/V Interface box may be mounted in any suitable location. Make sure the box and the wires
connected to it will not interfere with safely operating the vehicle.
Mounting the Interface box near the monitor will reduce the need for additional cable extensions.
This monitor can be mounted in a headrest if desired. A special mounting kit is required and can be
purchased from your Authorized Alpine dealer. Ask for model KTE-580V.
