Installation & Accessories

This section describes the various accessories and cables that came with your iWAY, and exactly how to use them. Some of the most impor- tant information in this section is how to connect the iWAY to your car's stereo, and how to use the USB-to-PC cable to copy your music onto the iWAY.

If you need help using any of these accessories, look through this sec- tion. Otherwise, move on to Section 2: Mapping Mode Operation begin- ning on page 11. You can also turn to the beginning of Sec. 3 on page 29 if you'd rather start learning about iWAY's Music Mode.

Power Cable

The iWAY operates on 12 volts DC using the power cable-speaker that came with it. The power cable is designed to plug into a car's cigarette lighter. The speaker allows you to hear verbal turn-by-turn driving di- rections and music. It has a headphone socket, volume control and a power indicator light. The unit also packs with a power adapter for home use. Just plug it into a wall socket and plug the power cable- speaker into the adapter.

Flash memory and the hard drive will keep your stored data safe and accessible for the life of the product — after the unit is turned off, no battery or external power is needed to store your data.

To use the power cable, simply plug the cable's cigarette lighter adapter into a cigarette lighter receptacle. Then insert the other end of the ca- ble into the power socket on the back of the unit, as shown in the fol- lowing image.
