Placing the IN Motion I M7BLK system

Making Connections
Warning: Do not insert the speaker system’s universal power supply into a wall outlet
until all connections are made. Also, turn off your iPod or alternate audio source before
connecting it to the iM7BLK.
Seat your iPod by sliding your iPod on top of the iM7BLK docking station. If necessary,
first install the docking adapter that came with your iPod. While the docking adapter is
not required for proper functioning of your iPod and iM7BLK, it will provide a better fit.
Note: Alternate audio sources – such as non-dockable iPod models, CD players, MP3
players, portable DVD players, and laptops – can also be connected to the iM7BLK. For
more information, see the “Connecting to alternate audio source” section.
Power
Use one of the following two options to power your iM7BLK:
AC (Wall outlet) Power
Insert the barrel connector from the power supply into the DC connector on the rear
of the iM7BLK. After this connection is made, insert the power supply into a
wall outlet.
DC (Battery) Power
Install eight D batteries (or LR20) into the battery compartment on the bottom of the
iM7BLK. Make sure the batteries are installed as illustrated in the battery compartment
(batteries not included).
