NOTICE
Product Cleaning
Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more
severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything
else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +60°C
(+140°F) and -20°C (-4°F) before turning your unit on.
Protecting the USB connector
• Only an iPhone 5 or later or USB memory device can be
connected to the USB connector on this unit. Correct
performance using other USB products cannot be guaranteed.
• If the USB connector is used, be sure to use only the supplied
connector cable with the unit. A USB hub is not supported.
• USB memory device is used for data file transfer or updates
only.
• This unit does not support USB memory’s Audio/Video
playback or photo browse.
Maintenance
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service
Station for servicing.
Installation Location
Make sure the iLX-700 will not be installed in a location subjected
to:
• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity and water
• Excessive dust
• Excessive vibrations
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 iLX-700. This
has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers.
Some setup operations 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 “Unable to operate while driving.” will be displayed if any
attempts are made to perform these operations while driving.
• The iLX-700 draws minimal current even when its power switch is
turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the iLX-700 is
connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle’s battery, the
battery may be discharged.
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 iLX-700. For connecting the SPST switch, refer
to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (sold separately)”
(page 33). If the power (ignition) lead is unswitched, it must be
disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused
for an extended period of time.
