GUIDE FOR INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS  
• Please read this GUIDE FOR INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS and the OWNER’S  
MANUAL thoroughly to familiarize yourself with each control and function. We at ALPINE hope  
that your new PXI-H990 will give you many years of listening enjoyment.  
In case of problems when installing your unit, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer.  
Points to Observe for Safe Usage  
• Read this manual carefully before starting operation and use this system safely. We cannot be  
responsible for problems resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this manual.  
• This manual uses various pictorial displays to show how to use this product safely and to avoid  
harm to yourself and others and damage to your property.  
Here is what these pictorial displays mean. Understanding them is important for reading this  
manual.  
• Meaning of displays  
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can  
result in serious injury or death.  
Warning  
This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can  
result in injury or property damage.  
Caution  
Warning  
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER. Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.  
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES. Failure to do so may  
result in fire or electric shock.  
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS. Failure to make the proper connections may result in  
fire 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 fire, 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 fire  
or electric shock.  
2-EN  
 
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 fire.  
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 fire etc.  
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside  
and may result in fire.  
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. Swal-  
lowing 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 GEARSHIFT. Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper  
movement etc. and results in 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 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.  
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.  
3-EN  
 
Precautions  
Be sure to disconnect the cable from the () battery post before installing your PXI-H990. 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 vehicles electrical system.  
When making connections to the vehicles 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 PXI-H990 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended  
circuit of the PXI-H990 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 PXI-H990 uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having  
RCA connectors.You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your  
authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.  
Be careful not to cause a short by jamming the cable into the computer when connecting. It  
can cause a fault.  
Alpine accepts no responsibility for damaged or lost data in your computer etc., even if data  
etc., is damaged or lost while using this product.  
Wiring Connections  
Improper wiring connections could cause serious damage to your audio system. Be sure you:  
1. DO NOT connect () wires from left and right speakers together.  
2. DO NOT ground any speaker wires.  
3. DO NOT run wires where they may be pinched or cut.  
4. DO NOT leave bare speaker terminals exposed. They may contact the vehicle chassis and  
cause a short.  
Fuse  
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement fuse 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 vehicles voltage regulator checked. Do not attempt to repair the  
unit yourself; return it to your Alpine dealer or nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.  
Temperature  
In order to ensure proper performance, be sure the temperature in your vehicle is above 14°F  
(10°C) and below 140°F (60°C) before turning your unit on. Good air circulation is essential to  
prevent internal heat build-up in the unit.

PLACE OF PURCHASE:  
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.

Mounting Microphone  
Mounting Location  
Mount the microphone on the rear-view mirror, headrest, sun visor, or other appropriate location.  
We recommend that you mount it on the sun visor.  
1. Attaching the microphone  
After mounting the microphone, use the supplied cord clamp to dress the microphone cable.  
You can use the internal microphone in the monitor (TMI-M990, sold separately) as a Road  
EQ Microphone. For more details about connecting, refer to Examples of system expansion”  
(page 13).  
When connecting two PXI-H990s, connect the microphones to both units. In this case, the  
mouting location of two microphones should be the same.
