PRECAUTIONS

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 b45°C 
(+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.

Moisture Condensation

You may notice the disc playback sound wavering due to 
condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and 
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

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 VPA-B222 will not be installed in a location 
subjected to:

• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity and water
• Excessive dust
• Excessive vibrations

Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the 
VPA-B222, can be operated from the VPA-B222. Depending on the 
products connected, the functions and displays will vary. For 
details, consult your Alpine dealer.

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 VPA-B222. 
This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers.
Audio Processor Adjustments 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.
