Using the iHM3

Thank you for purchasing the iHM3. Designed to work with your iPod/MP3 player or any audio device, this system provides high quality audio and that invites your music to come out and play. Please read the instructions carefully before operating the unit and keep for future reference.

Installing/Replacing Batteries

1. Push to open the battery compartment door located on the bottom of the unit.

2. Insert 4 “AAA” (LR3) batteries (included), checking that the + and – ends of the batteries match the drawing inside the battery compartment. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.

3. Close the compartment cover.

For Best Performance

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable batteries.

• Make sure you dispose of batteries properly (see your local regulations).

Using an AC Adaptor (not included)

Connect a 7.5 volt-rated positive center AC adaptor cable plug into the DC power jack on the back of the unit, then plug the AC adaptor into a wall outlet. When connected to the AC adaptor, the iHM3 lets you play your iPod/MP3 player or other audio device without batteries. The iHM3 does NOT charge your iPod.

Listening to an iPod/MP3 player or other audio device

1. Plug one end of the audio patchcord (included) into the headphone or Line-out Jack on your device and the other end of the patchcord into the iHM3 Line-in Jack, located on the back of the unit. Pull out the cradle at the base of the unit and place iPod on it.

2. Turn on your iPod/MP3 player or other audio device, press play and set desired volume.

3. Switch the mode button located on the top of the unit to ON (or to SRS TruBass if you want more bass).

4. Remember to turn unit OFF when not in use to save batteries. To extend battery life, play unit without SRS TruBass feature.
