Introduction; Precautions - iSimple ISFD73 Owner's Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Peripheral Electronics ® Media Gateway.
The Media Gateway is designed to provide endless hours of listening
pleasure from your factory radio. To ensure that your HD Radio tuner or
iPod performs correctly with your radio, we recommend that you read this
entire manual before attempting installation of the Media Gateway.
The Media Gateway allows connectivity for iPod and HD Radio (HDRT
sold separately), enabling full control of these devices from the factory
installed radio. It also retains original system features such as satellite
radio and rear seat entertainment (if equipped).

2. Precautions

UPDATING iPod FIRMWARE
For proper operation of the Media Gateway, your iPod must be updated
with the most recent version of firmware from Apple. This is done on your
computer. To update the software on the iPod go to:
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/.
Follow the directions on the website to complete the download. There is no
charge for this update.
PREVENTING DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR IPOD.
Some installations require you to make wiring connections. To eliminate
the risk of an electrical short, we recommend disconnecting the
vehicle's battery prior to installation. If you do not feel comfortable
making these connections, we suggest you seek professional
installation. We recommend that the iPod be disconnected from the inter-
face when the vehicle is not in use.
PROPER MOUNTING LOCATION
Securely install the interface in a location free from; heat, humidity,
moving parts, sharp metal edges or direct sunlight. We recommend
securing the interface to a suitable location using; double sided tape,
Velcro TM or zip-ties.
