Operating Instructions

WARNING

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in serious
injury or death.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERY OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed,
consult a physician immediately.

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 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.

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 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, shift lever, brake
pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,
electric shock or other injury.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product
damage.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions.
Failure to heed them can result in injury or
material property damage.

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.

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.

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.

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 wire’s insulation from
being cut by the metal edge of the hole.

DO NOT MIX NEW BATTERIES WITH OLD BATTERIES.
INSERT WITH THE CORRECT BATTERY POLARITY.

When inserting the batteries, be sure to observe proper polarity (+
and –) as instructed. Rupture or chemical leakage from the
battery may cause fire or personal injury.

2-EN

PRECAUTIONS

Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex.
Because of this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions
into a special screen. This will restrict operation of these
functions to times when the vehicle is parked. This ensures the
focus of the driver’s attention will be on the road and not on the
monitor. This has been done for the safety of the driver and
passengers.
Setup Operation and Search Function cannot be made if the car is
moving. The car must be parked and the parking brake must be
engaged for the procedure described in the Owner’s Manual to be
valid. The warning “CAN’T OPERATE WHILE DRIVING,” will
be displayed if any attempts are made to perform these
operations while driving.

• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before
installing your VPA-B211P/VPA-B211E. This will reduce any
chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.

• Be sure to connect the colour 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 VPA-B211P/VPA-B211E to the
fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the
VPA-B211P/VPA-B211E 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 VPA-B211P/VPA-B211E 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.

When Using the Remote Control

• Point the remote control at the remote control eye within
about 2 meters.

• It may not be possible to operate the remote control if the
remote control eye is exposed to direct sunlight.

• The remote control is a small, lightweight precision device.
To avoid damage, short battery life, operational errors and
poor response, observe the following.

- Do not subject the remote control to excessive shock.

- Do not put in a trouser pocket.

-Keep away from food, moisture and dirt.

- Do not place in direct sunshine.

• Connect the supplied remote control eye. Failing to do so
will result in a loss of remote control operation.
Refer to “Connections” (pages 18).

• If an ALPINE monitor is connected as the external front
monitor, connect the remote control input lead to the
remote control output lead of the monitor. In this case, you
do not need to connect the supplied remote control eye.
