Points to Observe for Safe Usage  
CAUTION  
This symbol means important instructions.  
Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage.  
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.  
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 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  
requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you  
purchased this product to have the work done.  
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.

Note: Always use the supplied bracket or equivalent.  
1
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.  
2
• 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.
