Setting Up the Unit

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 cord of the AC adaptor into the wall outlet. Adaptor must be plugged in to operate unit. The unit does not operate on battery (a battery back up system maintains clock settings during power failures).

Updating your iD99 firmware

For best performance, make sure to update the iD99 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.

Note: Please use Dock 2 for firmware update.

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.

Setting the Clock Time Using AutoSync

The AutoSync feature automatically syncs the time 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).

AUTOSYNC SETTING

By default, the unit is set to AUTOSYNC ON mode and will attempt to autosync the time whenever a capable iPhone or iPod is docked in Dock 1 OR an iPad, iPhone or iPod is docked in Dock 2.

1.Dock your iPad, iPhone or recent model iPod in the unit. In about 3 seconds, the unit will sync to your device.

2.The unit will now autosync every time a capable iPhone/iPod or iPad is docked.

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 synced iPad/iPhone/iPod.

To adjust autosync settings: Press and hold the Clock Button located on the top of the unit for 2 seconds. “AUTOSYNC ON” flashes on the display and a beep sounds. To turn autosync off, press and release the + or - Button while AUTOSYNC ON is flashing until “AUTOSYNC OFF” appears. This will disable autosync and allow you to set the time manually (see below).

Setting Time and Calendar Manually

Autosync must be OFF to set the clock manually.

1.Press and hold the Clock Button located on the top of the unit until “AUTOSYNC ON” or “AUTOSYNC OFF” flashes on the display,(if AUTOSYNC ON appears, press the + or - Button to toggle to AUTOSYNC OFF setting).

2.Press and release the Clock Button. The time display will flash. Press the + or - Button to adjust the time (hold for a few seconds to advance or reverse rapidly). Remember to set the correct AM or PM hour. An icon in the upper left hand corner of the time display indicates AM or PM.

(Note: if you wish to change the time display from the 12-hour format to the 24-hour format, sometimes called ‘military time’, press and release either the Alarm 1 Button or Alarm 2 Button to switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display formats.)

3.Press and release the Clock Button again. The year will flash in the lower part of the display. Press and release the + or - Button until the current year is displayed.

4.Press and release the Clock Button again. The month and date will flash. Press and release the + or - Button until the current month and date is displayed.

5.Press and release the Clock Button once more. Two beeps will sound to confirm your settings and you will exit Time and Calendar Setting mode.
