Using The Unit - iHome iDL43 Manual

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. Adaptor must be plugged in to operate unit. The unit does not operate on batteries (a battery back up system
maintains clock settings during power failures).
Updating your iDL43 firmware
For best performance, make sure to update the iDL43 firmware. To do so, download the free iHome Set app from the App
Store. Launch the app, scroll to "Search for Update", then follow directions to update the firmware.
Turning the Unit ON or OFF
Press the Power Button on the unit at any time to turn the unit On or Off. Note that a docked iPad, iPhone or iPod will
continue to charge when the unit is turned off as long as the AC adaptor is plugged in. You can also turn the unit ON
automatically by docking a playing device,connecting a playing device to the USB port, or by pressing the radio preset
Button. In Dock or USB mode, you can turn the unit OFF by disconnecting a playing device from the dock OR USB port.
Setting the Time and Calendar Using AutoSync
The AutoSync feature automatically syncs the time and date setting on the unit to the time on your iPad, iPhone or recent
model iPod (iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod Classic; older iPod models such as iPod mini do not support this feature).
By default, the unit is set to AUTO SYNC mode and will attempt to autosync the time whenever a capable iPad, iPhone
or iPod is docked OR connected to the USB port and at 3 AM each day.
To manually time sync at any time to a docked device, press and release the Time Sync Button.
NOTE: iPhone time is automatically updated to the correct time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPad or iPod is
accurate only to the time on the computer the last time the iPad/iPod was synced to it. It's possible to have up to 59 seconds
difference between the unit and a synced iPad/iPhone/iPod.

time', press and release either the Alarm 1 Button or Alarm 2 Button while display is flashing during time setting to
