Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the 
following and pages 3 and 4 of this manual thoroughly 
for proper use.
Warning
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fi re 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 fi re, 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, gear 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 fi re or electric shock.
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 fi re.
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 fi re, etc.
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 SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement, etc., 
and result in a 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 specifi ed 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 PKG-RSE2. 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 vehicle's electrical system.
•
When making connections to the vehicle's 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 PKG-RSE2 to the fuse box, make 
sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the PKG-RSE2 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 PKG-RSE2 uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to
other units (e.g. amplifi er) having RCA connectors. You may 
need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact 
your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.
IMPORTANT
Please record the serial number of your unit in the space 
provided below and keep it as a permanent record. The serial 
number plate is located on the bottom of the unit.
