(+113°F) and -0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.
Fuse Replacement
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of
the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the
fuse(s) blows more than once, carefully check all electrical
connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle’s
voltage regulator checked.
Servicing the Unit
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit
yourself. Return it to your ALPINE dealer or the nearest
ALPINE Service Station for servicing.
Installation Location
Make sure the PND-K3 will not be exposed to:
• Direct sun and heat • Excessive dust
• High humidity
• Excessive vibrations
Characteristics of LCD Panel
• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the
image will remain temporarily. This is an effect
peculiar to LCD technology and is normal.
• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen may
lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up
period, it will return to normal.
• The LCD panel is manufactured using an extremely
high precision manufacturing technology. Its effective
pixel ratio is over 99.99%. This means that 0.01% of
the pixels could be either always ON or OFF.
Using Headphones
If ACC or the monitor’s power source is turned off, a loud
noise may be produced through the headphone jack. Be
sure to remove the headphones from your ears before you
turn the monitor off.
