Alpine DHA-S690 owner manual Installation, 38-EN

Installation

CAUTION

Be careful that the vehicle’s cords do not touch the DHA-S690.

If the cords are in contact with the DHA-S690, their sheaths may be damaged due to vibrations generated while the vehicle is running, resulting in short-circuits. Leave enough space when routing wires to prevent contact between the vehicle’s wires and the DHA-S690.

To prevent external noise from entering the audio system.

•Locate the unit and route the leads at least 10 cm away from the car harness.

•Keep the battery power leads as far away from other leads as possible.

•Connect the ground lead securely to a bare metal spot (remove any paint, dirt or grease if necessary) of the car chassis.

•If you add an optional noise suppressor, connect it as far away from the unit as possible. Your Alpine dealer carries various noise suppressors. Contact them for further information.

•Your Alpine dealer knows best about noise prevention measures so consult your dealer for further information.

1 Remove the shipping keys.

Three keys are mounted to the DHA-S690’s bottom panel to protect the product during transportation. Be sure to remove these keys before installing the DHA-S690. So as not to lose the keys, store them in the special plastic pouch provided with the DHA-S690 and cover the key holes with the included dust-prevention seals.

With this product, the positions of the built-in anti-vibration springs must be changed according to the angle of installation. The product will not provide the regular resistance to vibration if the anti-vibration springs are not in the correct positions or if the left and right springs are in different positions.

The anti-vibration springs can be placed at one of five angles.

The springs are set to the “H” angle upon shipment from the factory. To change this angle, follow the instructions given below.
