system and these devices.

Your next step is to install the proper insert into the universal dock located on the front bottom portion
of the system. Each insert is marked so choose one which fits your iPod. To install the insert simply let it
snap into the connector well.

Einfuhrung

Packungsinhalt

So bereiten Sie das Gerät für den Einsatz vor!

Stellen Sie das System auf einer stabilen, ebenen Oberfläche auf.

Die leistungsstarken Lautsprecher-Treibermagnete Ihres iRhythms Systems sind magnetisch abgeschirmt, und
das Auftreten von Störungen beim Betrieb in der Nähe von Video- und Computer-Monitoren wird dadurch
verringert. Wir raten Ihnen trotzdem eine ausreichende Distanz zwischen diesen Geräten und dem
Lautsprechersystem einzuhalten.

Als nächsten Schritt müssen Sie den korrekten Adapter in der "Universal-Dock" an der Vorderseite im unteren
Teil des Systems installieren. Jeder Adapter ist markiert, und Sie sollten den Adapter für Ihr jeweiliges iPod­Modell auswählen. Zur Installation lassen Sie den Adapter einfach in die Vertiefung des Anschlussdocks fallen.

Vorbereitung zum Einsatz

Dieses System besteht aus den folgenden Komponenten:

Fernbedienung

Netzkabel Netzadapter

Anschlussadapter

3,5mm Kabel

Zum Herausnehmen
fuhren Sie einen Schraubenzieher
in den Schlitz ein, und drucken
Sie den Adapter vorsichtig nach oben.

Hinweis:
iPod nano und iPod video werden mit
speziellen Einsätzen ausgeliefert, und passen

Der Einsatz des Systems

8

Verbinden Sie das Netzkabels mit der Netzstromversorgung. Der Klinkenstecker am Ende des Adapterkabels
muss an der DC-Buchse an der Rückseite des Systems angeschlossen werden. Verbinden Sie nun den
Stecker des Netzkabels mit einer AC-Wandsteckdose oder einer geschützten Steckerleiste.

Überprüfen Sie nochmals, ob der korrekte Adapter für Ihren iPod in die "Universal-Dock" eingeführt wurde.
Schließen Sie Ihren iPod an den Kontaktstiften an, die an der Anschlussseite des Adapters/der Buchse
sichtbar sind.

Anschlüsse

Ihr iPod kann beim Anschluss an der Verbindungsbuchse ein- oder ausgeschaltet sein. Wenn Ihr iPod
eingeschaltet ist und ein Musiktitel abspielt, dann sollten Sie sofort die Wiedergabe über die Lautsprecher
hören. Falls Sie keine Wiedergabe hören, dann sollten Sie überprüfen, ob ein Titel abspielt, und es kann
sein, dass Sie die Lautstärke etwas aufwärts einstellen müssen. Die Lautstärke kann mittels der Fernbedienung
oder dem "+/- "Lautstärkeregler an der Vorderseite des Systems aufwärts oder abwärts eingestellt werden.

HINWEIS: Um zu verhindern, dass Lautstärkespitzen auftreten, sollten Sie sicher stellen,
dass Ihr iPod bereits eingeschaltet ist, bevor Sie das Gerät an der Anschlussbuchse
anschließen.
