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. 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.
INSTALLATION und to ing s in pment y, and it ordance nit in e is Due to the high power output of the X-A90M/ X-A70F/X-A90V considerable heat is produced when the amplifier is in operation. For this reason, the amplifier should be mounted in a location which will allow for free circulation of air, such as inside the trunk. For alternate installation locations, please contact your authorized Alpine dealer. Mount the amplifier before installing the Terminal Cover (F)/(L)/(R). 1.
ATTACHING THE TERMINAL COVERS AND LOGO PLATE Attach the terminal covers (included) after connections and confirmation of correct operation. Attaching the terminal covers will improve the appearance of the unit. How to attach the terminal covers: 1. Attach the Terminal Cover (L)/(R) based on the guide hole of the amplifier. 2. Attach the Terminal Cover (F) based on the guide hole of the amplifier. • Push in until the hook is securely engaged.

CONNECTION CHECK LIST Please check your head unit for the conditions listed below: Remote Turn-On Lead a. The head unit does not have a remote turn-on or power antenna lead. b. The head unit’s power antenna lead is activated only when the radio is on (turns off in the tape or CD Mode). c. The head unit’s power antenna lead is logic level output (+) 5V, negative trigger (grounding type), or cannot sustain (+) 12V when connected to other equipment in addition to the vehicle’s power antenna.
rn-On SWITCH SETTINGS When performing Switch Settings, remove the Top Cover. For details, see “REMOVING THE TOP COVER” (page 3). • Before switching each Selector Switch, turn off the power and insert a small screwdriver, etc., perpendicularly to the Switch. ion tap EN FR ES Subsonic Filter (X-A90M/X-A90V only) The subsonic filter for cutting ultra low frequencies from the input signal before being amplified.
Input Gain Adjustment Control Set the X-A90M/X-A70F/X-A90V input gain to the minimum position. Using a dynamic CD as a source, increase the head unit volume until the output distorts. Then, reduce the volume 1 step (or until the output is no longer distorted). Now, increase the amplifier gain until the sound from the speakers becomes distorted. Reduce the gain slightly so the sound is no longer distorted to achieve the optimum gain setting.
