Definitions Auto-switching – the automatic switching of the TV input away from regular tuner mode (TV Mode) to iDock content (AV Mode or Auxiliary). Control Cable – iDock uses an Auto-Sensing Module (ASM) to pass through a serial or game control protocol through a control cable connection, implementing the TV auto- switching feature.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the iDock or ASM. Your TeleAdapt product should never be positioned or installed anywhere where it could get hit, dropped, or banged around. Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can harm internal operations.

Features and Usage Standard Auto-Switching Feature iDock has been engineered to work in tandem with an Auto-Switching Module (ASM) for the auto-sensing and input switching function. Hotel guests can plug in their own iPod, iPhone or iPad. When an audio or video file is played iDock will automatically detect their device and change the TV input channel to play their personal audio/video selections through the in-room TV and speakers, without having to use the in-room remote control.
