LOCATING AND SETTING UP YOUR i-FUSION SYSTEM

POWER

Position i-Fusion system on a stable, level surface. The i-Fusion system can
be placed close to video displays such as TVs and computer monitors
without distorting the image, but keep magnetic storage media (such as
drives, disks, and tapes) at least four inches away to avoid data loss.

Make sure that the plastic clips securing the hinge straps are secure. If
necessary, adjust the tension of the release button on the clips by pressing
in through the hole on the back of the clip, using the tip of a ball point
pen. Note that you can open the i-Fusion completely flat by releasing both
clips.

CONNECTING TO YOUR i-FUSION

Warning: Ensure that i- Fusion system is in the POWER OFF mode before

making any connections and before docking the iPod into the i-Fusion
system. To ensure proper operation, please carefully follow the
connection sequence as described below and in the order indicated.

Attach the iPod adapter sleeve, provided with your i-Fusion, that matches
the model of your iPod. Each sleeve will be marked with the iPod models.
An iPod model with a 30 PIN connector can be connected directly to the
30 pin docking station located on the i-Fusion system. An older iPod
model without a 30 PIN connector can be connected via the INPUT port
located at the side of your i-Fusion case and by using the 3.5 mm stereo
cable, included. When you’re sure that the either method of connection
has been made you are ready to play the i-Fusion speakers.

The i-Fusion can operate using the rechargeable built-in Lithium ion
battery. You may bypass the battery and use the external AC 9V@5A
power adapter included with your i-Fusion. The AC adapter will power
your unit, recharge the Lithium ion battery and recharge your iPod in the
30 pin connector station all simultaneously.

To use external power by power adapter:
When the iPod is connected to the i-Fusion system, insert the AC adapter
barrel connector into the jack marked DC IN 9V
the universal power adaptor blade end into your AC power wall jack. Your
i-Fusion is ready to play. When docked, your iPod will also recharge when
using the AC adapter.

To use the rechargeable, built-in, Lithium ion battery supply:

The i-Fusion system has a powerful, rechargeable Lithium ion battery built
into the case. Utilizing this independent power source, you can play your
iPod for hours between charges. Please note that recharging of the iPod
does not occur when powering off the Lithium ion battery.

START PLAYING

1. With your iPod seated in the docking station, or connected via the 3.5

mm stereo cable, slide the power switch

to “AUTO ON” position to turn the i-Fusion on. The LED display will

turn green.

2. Turn on your iPod, adjust the volume using the volume adjustment on

the i-Fusion, and play your favorite tunes. (Note that the iPod’s
volume control is bypassed when docked in the i-Fusion.)

the i-Fusion system. Press and hold “+”to increase the volume and then
“-”to decrease the volume. The volume will start at 30% maximum
volume position every time you re-start the i-Fusion system. This will

avoid disturbing others when booting it up. As with all speaker systems,
distortion may occur at high volumes. If so, turn the volume down.

POWER OFF

When not in use and to minimize power consumption, please set the
power switch to the “OFF” position

has an “AUTO SHUT-DOWN (STANDBY) function which prevents excess
power consumption during idle play.

AUTO SHUT-DOWN (STANDBY):

When the power switch is set at the “AUTO ON”position, the i-Fusion
system will shut down automatically and goes into standby mode if an
audio signal is not detected within 5 minutes. The LED on the power

switch will then turn to red

DATA TRANSFER

Note that you can download and upload music while your iPod is docked in
the i-Fusion’s docking station, using the iPod Dock Connector to Fire Wire
Cable that came with your iPod. Simply plug that cable into the port
located on the left side of the i-Fusion, and plug the other end into your
computer. Follow the instructions that were included with your iPod to
download, upload, and manage your music.

BUILT-IN LITHIUM ION BATTERIES

1. The i-Fusion system uses a rechargeable built-in 8.4V @2000mAH

Lithium ion battery.

2. A. Prior to your first use of the i-Fusion powered off of the Lithium ion

battery, you must fully charge the battery. Plug in the 9V@1.5A AC
into an AC wall outlet and insert the barrel connector at the end of
the adapter cable into the socket marked
Fusion system. A first time full charge will take 6-8 hours.

B. To recharge, connect the AC power adapter as described above. A

full recharge will take 4-6 hours. With the iPod docked, both the

battery and the iPod will be recharged simultaneously, whether the i-

Fusion system is operating or not. Alternatively, using the original iPod

30 PIN cable connected to the 30 Pin input jack on the left side of the

i-Fusion case, the iPod can be charged by itself and data can be

transmitted from your computer or laptop.

3. The i-Fusion system has a row of LED lights that serve as battery life

indicators.

4. The i-Fusion system has a low power warning function. When the
“charge required” indicator turns red, it is a warning that the system
will soon go into the SHUT-DOWN mode. The system will operate
again after power has been charged and the unit is turned back on.

5. While the i-Fusion system is being charged, the power indicator lights
will blink in sequence until the last light at the right end stops
blinking. The charging is now completed. Under typical use the i­Fusion Lithium battery can last between 12~20 hours (depending on the
volume settings and the play intervals.)

6. When the built-in Lithium ion battery no longer charges or lasts a very
short time after charged, it implies that the effective battery life is
coming to an end and a replacement is necessary. (Please refer to the
section Battery Replacement).

Note: Replacement batteries should have the same specifications as the
original and can be obtained directly from Sonic Impact Technologies.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Please note the following illustration on how to replace the rechargeable
built-in Li –ion batteries.
