USER SAFETY GUIDE
About Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limit for radio frequency energy, which is set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S government.
The term “EMI” is short for the electromagnetic interference caused by the electromagnetic field generated by electronic devices. In fact, most electrical
appliances and devices emit electric and magnetic fields, and most of modern electronic devices are susceptible to the EMI if they are inadequately shielded
or designed.
• If you use any personal medical device, such as a pacemaker, please consult the manufacture of your medical device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from EMI. Your physician might assist you in obtaining this information.
• Please turn off this device if you are instructed to do so, especially on an airplane or in a hospital.
• Please keep away from medical instruments in a hospital or medical unit while using this device.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON HEARING
Your hearing is very important to you and to us. We strongly recommend you to follow the guideline below in order to prevent possible damage to or loss of
hearing. Hearing experts caution that listening to loud sounds can damage hearing over time. With continuous listening to loud sounds, hearing adapts and
will give the impression that volume has reduced. What seems normal may, in fact, be harmful. To guard against this before hearing adapts, set the volume
at a low level and slowly increase the volume level until sound can be heard comfortably and clearly without distortion. Damage to hearing is cumulative and
irreversible. Ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud. Once a comfortable listening level has been established, do not increase
the volume level further.
Cautions
• If you experience a ringing sound in your ear, lower the volume or discontinue the use of this product.
• Do not use the headphones while driving or cycling. Because this product reduces the external noises, you might not be able to hear the warning sounds,
such as an automobile horn, and might result in a traffic accident. Additionally, listening to headphones while driving is illegal in many places
Warning: to prevent fire or shock hazard, don’t expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
These markings are located on the bottom, side or back of the unit.

GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT:
1. Occasionally, files on your iPod can become corrupted. This may cause an erratic behavior with your iLuv products. Apple Computer recommends that
you visit their website www.apple.com to obtain instructions on resetting or restoring your iPod to factory settings.
2. It is imperative that you use the correct dock adapter for your iPod and that the dock adapter fits appropriately into the built-in universal dock. Ignoring
these rules can cause severe damage to your iPod. Please refer to the section “Installing the Dock Adapter” to properly install the dock adapter before
operating the i199 with your iPod.
Using AC Power
Locate the AC power plug on the back of the unit. Insert the end of the supplied power cord into the wall outlet.
Installing the Backup Battery for Clock and Alarm Settings
In order to offer consistent clock settings and alarm functions, the i199 uses a Backup Battery system. This means that in the event of a power failure, all the
settings of the i199 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 and date settings will be temporarily maintained. The alarm, however, will not sound when the i199 is powered only
by the Backup Battery. To install Backup Battery, follow the instructions below:
1. Make sure the connection between the AC power supply and the unit is secure. This is important because during battery replacement it is possible for
all settings to be lost if the clock and alarm have already been set.
