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 between +60°C
(+140°F) and -20°C (-4°F) before turning your unit on.
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 iXA-W407 will not be installed in a location
subjected to:
• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity and water
• Excessive dust
• Excessive vibrations
• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image will
remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD technology
and is normal.
• In cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose contrast
temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it will return to
normal.
Alpine products equipped with the Ai-NET bus, connected to the
iXA-W407, can be operated from the iXA-W407. 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 iXA-W407.
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.
• The iXA-W407 draws minimal current even when its power switch is
turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the iXA-W407 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 iXA-W407. For connecting the SPST switch,
refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (Sold Separately)”
(page 67). 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.
Protecting the USB connector
• Only an iPhone/iPod, USB memory or Portable audio player can
be connected to the USB connector on this unit. Correct
performance using other USB products cannot be guaranteed.

connector cable with the unit. A USB hub is not supported.

not function or some functions may not be performed.

may not be correctly displayed.
On Handling USB Memory

USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) protocol. Playable audio file
formats are MP3, WMA and AAC.

according to the terms of agreement. Read the USB memory
Owner’s Manual thoroughly.

Anywhere in the car exposed to direct sunlight or high
temperatures.

substances are present.
• Fix the USB memory in a location where driver operation will
not be hindered.
• USB memory may not function correctly at high or low
temperature.
