Installing the AC Adapter

Locate the AC adapter jack on the back of the unit. Insert the AC adapter cable into the jack, and
plug into the wall outlet.

Installing the Backup Battery for Clock and Alarm Settings

In order to oer consistent clock settings and alarm functions, the i177 uses a backup battery
system. This means that in the event of a power failure, all the settings of i177 will remain saved. For
example, after the installation of the Backup Battery, the AC cord is disconnected or a power failure
occurs, the display will not remain lit, but the time, date and alarm settings will be temporarily
maintained. The alarm, however, will not sound when the i177 is powered only by the Backup
Battery. To install Backup Battery, follow the instructions below:

1. Make sure the connection between the AC adapter and the unit is secure. This is important
because during battery replacement it is possible for all settings to be lost if clock and alarm
have already been set.

2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit and open.

3. Insert 2 “AA” batteries, following the correct polarity (+/-) drawings inside the battery
compartment. For longer battery life, alkaline batteries are suggested. Please note that new
and used batteries should not be mixed. Likewise, alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or
rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries should not be used together.

4. Secure the battery compartment by closing the cover.

Important Notes on Batteries

To prevent battery leakage, which may result in bodily injury, property damage or
damage to the unit, follow these instructions.

· Install all batteries correctly according to the polarity (+/–) as marked on the unit.

· Do not mix old and new batteries, carbon and alkaline, etc.

· Remove batteries from the unit when the device will not be used for an extended
period of time.

Please dispose the used batteries properly according to your local
government regulations.

Remote Control - First Time Use and Replacing of the Battery

The remote control battery has been previously installed and ready for operation for immediate
use. For the rst time use, pull out the insulation tag from the button battery tray before operating
the remote control. When the remote control stops functioning, you must replace the battery with
a new one. To do so, locate the battery compartment on the side of the remote and follow the
steps below:

1. Squeeze the notch labeled “Tab A” while pulling the
“battery door latch B” out towards you. This will allow
the battery holder to release and pop out. Please refer
to the picture on the right side.

2. Insert a “CR2025” 3V lithium battery. Make certain to
follow the correct polarity, following the directions of
the corresponding symbols (+/–).

3. Secure battery and push the battery holder back into
the remote control until fully inserted.

Installing the AM Loop Antenna

For AM radio operation, locate the AM antenna jack on the back of the unit. Plug the AM loop
antenna into the connector. To achieve the best reception possible, a distance of 30 cm between
the AM antenna, the unit and the iPod is recommended.

Installing the Dock Adapter

To guarantee that your iPod will t properly into the built-in universal dock, several detachable
dock adapters for old iPod players are included with this product. Please check the bottom of dock
adapters to determine compatibility with your iPod.

1. Inserting the dock adapter
a. Choose a dock adapter that corresponds with the iPod you would like to dock. Using the
correct dock adapter ensures a proper t.
b. Gently push the dock adapter down into the universal dock.
c. Carefully place your iPod into the universal dock. Please note that iPod must not be in a case
or “Skin”.
