Connecting the Unit to Power Source
Connect the AC adaptor cable plug into the DC jack on the back of the system, then plug the AC adaptor into the wall
outlet.
Charging the Internal Battery
The iDN48 has an internal rechargeable Lithium-ion battery which should last the life of the unit. Charge the battery fully
for first time use. Please allow at least 6 hours to fully charge the unit for first time use.
1. Make sure the AC adaptor is properly connected to the unit and plugged into a working power source.
2. The internal battery will charge. While the battery is charging, the blue LED battery indicator lights will cycle to the right.
3. When the battery is fully charged, all 4 battery indicators will remain lit while the unit is powered on. As the battery runs
down, the lights will go out (see below).
Fully charged 75-50% charge 50-25% charge 25-5% charge
When there is no battery indicator light, the battery is dead and needs to be charged. NOTE: Even if the battery is dead,
the unit will still operate while connected to AC power.
NOTE: iHome+Apps will not work when unit is operating on battery power.
Charging your iPad, iPhone or iPod
1. The unit must be connected to an AC power source to charge your iPad, iPhone or iPod, whether docked in the 30-pin
connector or connected to the USB port on the back of the unit. The unit will not charge these devices when
operating on the internal battery.
2. Open the stand and gently dock your iPad, iPhone or iPod. Note that iPhone 5, iPad mini, iPad (4th generation) and
iPod touch 5th generation cannot dock to the unit, but must be connected to the USB port using the sync cable that

Your device will begin charging and while docked or connected via USB will continue until fully charged.
