place.
The main unit must be mounted within 35 degrees of the
horizontal plane, back to front.

“Removal” on page 47).
* If the installed mounting sleeve is loose in the dashboard, the
pressure plates may be bent slightly to remedy the problem.

Reinforce the head unit with the metal mounting strap
(not supplied). Secure the ground lead of the unit to a
clean metal spot.

UTE-52BT according to details described in the CONNECTIONS
section.

JAPANESE CAR
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.
