Using the Docking Station

Before using the docking station make sure it's
battery is fully charged before using. We
recommend the first 3 charges to last 10 hours
(with Apple power adapter) or 20 hours (with
computer USB port) to ensure maximum capacity
of the battery.

Charging the Docking Station

The docking station is compatible with 3 kinds of
power adapters, Apple 2.1A power adapter,
Apple 1000mA power adapter, and Computer
USB port via the included USB cable. Charging
time varies for each power adapter. Generally,
the Apple 2.1A and 1000mA power adapter will
fully charge in 6-10 hours. A Computer USB
500mA port will fully charge in 16-20 hours.

Charge iPad/iPhone/iPod - Standalone

When an iPad/iPhone/iPod is inserted into the
docking station, it will begin charging
automatically, and the docking station's Charging
LED will start flashing. The docking station
automatically adjusts power output from

5

2.1A (iPad/iPad 2) to 1A (iPhone/iPod) to provide

fast battery charging.

Charge iPad/iPhone/iPod with Apple
Power Adapter

When an iPad/iPhone/iPod is inserted into the
docking station, it will power on automatically
and begin charging. After the iPhone/iPad/
iPod is fully charged, the docking station will
start charging.

Note: During charging an iPad/iPhone/
iPod with Apple power adapter, if the
power cable is disconnected, the docking
station's battery will not charge the iPad/
iPhone/iPod automatically. You need to
re-insert the iPad/iPhone/iPod into the
docking station.

6

Charge & Sync with Computer USB Port

When connected to the computer by the included
USB cable, the iPhone/iPod will sync with the
computer and charge at the same time. After the
iPhone/iPod is fully charged, the docking station
will start charging. When connected to the
computer by the included USB cable, the iPad
will sync with the computer but will not charge
(same as with Apple USB cable).

Note: When charging an iPhone/iPod with
the included USB cable, if the USB cable is
disconnected, the docking station's battery
will not charge the iPhone/iPod
automatically. You need to re-insert the
iPhone/iPod into the docking station.
