The KICKER iKICK iK350 Digital Stereo System for iPhone and iPod is designed for “Livin’ Loud” with your iPhone and
iPod in the home environment. The iK350 is fully featured with dual full-range 4” (`102mm) KICKER drivers and 1/2”
(13mm) Mylar tweeters driven by a powerful stereo amplifi er with digital signal processing. The 4.5” (114mm) square
passive radiator (subwoofer) on the back of the iK350 balances the sonic output, adding the punchy low-frequency
response that put KICKER subwoofers on the map. The rotary control and infrared remote allow simple, streamlined
control of your iK350 Stereo System. The iK350 can be used with any 4th generation or newer iPod. In addition, the
iK350 boasts a wide range of connectivity options including stereo RCA outputs, composite video output, and a 1/8”
stereo auxiliary input for incorporating additional audio devices with your iK350 Stereo System. Note: Third Generation

and older iPods work by connecting their headphone output to the auxiliary input on the rear of the iK350.

DOCKING YOUR iPod

1. Attach the included Adjustable Device Support to the docking bay.

2. Connect your iPod to the iK350’s dock connector.

3. Plug the power cable into the DC input on the back of the iK350.

4. Plug the 2-prong electrical plug into a surge protected electrical outlet.

The iK350 will begin to authenticate your iPod. During this time, the
“DOCK” LED will fl ash until authentication is complete. If “DOCK” continues
to fl ash after 60 seconds, authentication has failed; Disconnect and
reconnect the iPod. If problems persist, test another iPod or iPhone device,
or contact KICKER support or Apple support.

PERFORMANCE

The iK350 docking station has been optimized to match the sonic output of the iPod with the iPod’s EQ in the “Off”
setting. The iPod’s “Sound Check” should also be off; otherwise you may experience poor bass response and lower
volume levels in your music.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and follow all the instructions listed in this manual. Follow all safety and procedural recommendations to prevent
damage to your self, your KICKER product, or your portable entertainment device.

The iK350 should not be used near water or in an environment where exposure to liquids is possible. This includes but is
not exclusive to areas where splashing, dripping, leaks, spills, and exposure to rain can occur. Liquid containers should
not be placed on or near the iK350 Stereo System. The iK350 Stereo System should not be cleaned with liquid cleaners.
Use only a dry cloth to clean the iK350. Only use the iK350 in areas with adequate open ventilation allowing at least 4”
of space on all sides of the iK350. Do not set the iK350 on any surface or cover the iK350 with any object that could
impede the airfl ow to and from the iK350 Stereo System. The iK350 should not be placed near any source of heat. This
includes but is not limited to stoves, radiators, heating elements, electronic heat sources, and areas where excessive
solar heat can be generated. Do not install the iK350 near any fl ame or place any fl ammable objects near the device.
The power outlet used to provide power to the iK350 should be accessible at all times. The polarized 2-prong electrical
plug has a wide blade and narrow blade that should fi t into the corresponding wide and narrow receiving connections
of your electrical outlet. Do not force the plug into the outlet. If the plug provided with the unit does not fi t, consult with
an electrician to upgrade the electrical outlet accordingly. The power cord should be situated in a way that protects it
from being pinched, walked on, tripped over, or accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet or the electrical input on the
iK350. Do not run the cable through doorways or underneath objects that could damage the wire or tear the insulating
material surrounding the wire. Only use the manufacturer supplied power supply with the iK350. We recommend using a
surge protector/power conditioner and unplugging the iK350 during any electrical storms or situations that could cause
voltage fl uctuations in the electrical system.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES

To connect an external video display to the iK350, make sure the video output is enabled on your iPod device. Connect
a standard RCA composite video cable from the composite video output on the back of the iK350 to the RCA video
input on your external video display. See Figure 3. This is a pass-through connection. If there are any problems with your
external video display, refer to the iPod device manual or the instructions packaged with your external video display.

To connect an external audio device to the iK350, enable Aux-In mode with the rotary or remote control as described in
the Input Source section on the previous page. Connect your line level device to the 1/8” stereo input on the back of the
iK350. See Figure 3. If the sound is distorted, you may be overdriving the auxiliary input. Try turning down the external
device until the sound is no longer distorted. Note: 1st – 3rd Generation iPods will require the use of the auxiliary input for
audio playback.

To use an external audio device for output, connect the RCA outputs on the back of the iK350 to the input(s) of your
third-party device. The audio output is at a fi xed level and not adjustable with the iK350 volume control. Use your external
audio device to attenuate the input/output level.
