TEST

1: Power

Attach AC adaptor cable to DC jack on back of the unit and plug the other end into a wall socket. Insert 2 included AA batteries into the backup battery compartment on the bottom of the unit. Extend FM antenna for best reception.

3: Setting Clock with AutoSync

2: docking your iPad/iPhone/iPod in the Lightning dock

While the dock accommodates most cases, you may need to remove your case for proper docking. Gently dock any iPad, iPhone or iPod with Lightning connector onto the Lightning dock on top of the unit. The iPad, iPhone or iPod will charge while docked. Press the Button on the unit to play your iPad, iPhone or iPod.

4: Radio

Dock your Lightning-compatible iPad, iPhone or iPod (see step 2). The unit will attempt to autosync to the time on your iPad, iPhone or iPod. The time on the display will update. This process takes about 3 seconds.

Press and release the Mode Button as needed to select FM band. Press and release the + or – Button to tune in a station. See page 7 for programming presets.

Using the Unit

Connecting the Unit to Power Source

Connect the AC adaptor cable plug into the DC jack on the back of the system, then plug the AC adaptor into the wall outlet. Adaptor must be plugged in to operate unit. The unit does not operate on batteries (the battery back up system maintains clock settings during power failures).

Updating your iDL46 firmware

For best performance, make sure to update the iDL46 firmware. To do so, download the free iHome Set app from the App Store. Launch the app, scroll to “Search for Update”, then follow directions to update the firmware.

Turning the Unit ON or OFF

Press the Button on the unit at any time to turn the unit On or Off. Note that a docked iPad, iPhone or iPod will continue to charge when the unit is turned off as long as the AC adaptor is plugged in. You can also turn the unit ON automatically by docking a playing device (or connecting one to the USB dock), and turn the unit OFF by disconnecting a playing device from the dock OR USB dock.

Setting the Clock Time Using AutoSync

The AutoSync feature automatically syncs the time setting on the unit to the time on your iPad, iPhone or recent model iPod (iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod Classic; older iPod models such as iPod mini do not support this feature).

By default, the unit is set to AUTO SYNC ON mode and will attempt to autosync the time whenever a capable iPad, iPhone or iPad is docked to the Lightning dock OR connected to the USB dock and at 2AM each day. To manually time sync at any time to a docked device, press and release the Clock Button.

NOTE: iPhone time is automatically updated to the correct time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPad or iPod is accurate only to the time on the computer the last time the iPad/iPod was synced to it. It’s possible to have up to 59 seconds difference between the unit and a synced iPad/iPhone/iPod.

Autosync must be OFF to set the clock manually.

1. Press and hold the Clock Button located on the top of the unit until “AUTOSYNC ON” or “ AUTOSYNC OFF” flashes

on the display,(if AUTOSYNC ON appears, press the + or – Button to toggle to AUTOSYNC OFF setting).

2. Press and release the Clock Button. The time display will flash. Press the + or – Button to adjust the time (hold for

a few seconds to advance or reverse rapidly). Remember to set the correct AM or PM hour. An icon to the left of the time display indicates AM or PM.

3. Press and release the Clock Button again. The year will flash in the lower part of the display. Press and release the

+ or – Button until the current year is displayed.
