located on the back of the inMotion iM7 system, and the other end to the

After your iPod or other portable audio device is connected to the inMotion iM7
system, insert the barrel connector from the universal power supply into the
connector marked on the rear of the inMotion iM7 system. After this
connection is made, insert the universal power supply into a wall outlet. You can
now use your inMotion iM7.
DC (Battery) Power
Before your iPod or other portable audio device is connected to the inMotion
iM7 system, install eight D batteries (not included) into the battery compartments
on the bottom of the inMotion iM7 system. Make sure the batteries are installed

not completely turn the iM7 off. To maximize battery life when not using the
