Alpine IVA-D300 Turning Power On or Off, Opening/Closing the Monitor, Adjusting the Volume, 10-EN

Turning Power On or Off

Some of this unit's functions cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. Be sure to stop your vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake, before attempting these operations.

1 Press SOURCE/POWER to turn on the unit.

•The unit can be turned on by pressing any button on the unit except OPEN and c (Eject).

2 Press and hold SOURCE/POWER for at least 2 seconds to turn off the unit.

•The IVA-D300 draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the IVA-D300 is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle's battery, the battery may be discharged. If this lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time.

An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back ON before using the IVA-D300. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST switch” (page 69).

•Some operation of the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case, be sure to first stop your vehicle and apply the parking brake, then perform the operation.

Opening/Closing the Monitor

1 Press OPEN.

The unit beeps 3 times and opens the monitor automatically.

2 Press and hold OPEN (CLOSE) for at least 2 seconds.

The unit beeps 3 times and closes the monitor automatically.

•Opening/closing the monitor should never be performed manually. It may cause a malfunction.

•The monitor's angle is set to 90 degrees at the factory. Depending on the car, the monitor may hit the dashboard when opened. The monitor's angle can be adjusted and stored in memory so that the monitor will not hit the dashboard when opening. For adjusting the monitor, refer to "Adjusting the monitor Angle" on page 26.

Even when the vehicle's battery power is removed, the adjusted monitor angle remains stored in memory.

•The IVA-D300 is a precision device. With gentle handling, its unique capabilities can be enjoyed for a long time.

•If the monitor touches anything while it is being opened (or closed), the monitor will stop opening (or closing) immediately. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press and hold OPEN for at least 2 seconds again to lower the monitor.

•When the movable monitor is opened, do not place any object on the monitor and be careful not to bump or apply any pressure to the monitor while it is open. This can cause damage to the mechanism.

•In low ambient temperature conditions, the display may be dark for a short period of time immediately after the power is turned on. Once the LCD has warmed up, the display returns to normal.

•For your safety, some operation of the unit cannot be performed while the vehicle is in motion. In this case, first stop the vehicle and engage the parking brake, then perform the operation.
