phone, or other 5V device. | 2. Verify that the voltage and current consumption of the device you | |||
| ||||
| wish to charge is not more than 5V or 500mA. If the device consumes | |||
| more than the maximum provided by myPower, the device will shut | |||
| down when turned on and cannot be charged by myPower. | |||
| 3. Check that the USB charging cable is connected to both myPower | |||

NOTE: As myPower charges the iPod battery, the battery capacity in myPower will decrease and each light on myPower will begin to turn off in sequence from right to left. When myPower is completely out of battery, the red light will turn off. At this point, you must charge myPower.
To charge the iPod battery and myPower simultaneously:
1.With myPower connected to a power source (as described earlier), place iPod into myPower.
2.Switch the charging switch to On.
3.To stop charging, switch the charging switch to Off.
NOTE: As myPower is charging, the red and green lights on the front of the unit will turn on in sequence from left to right to indicate the increase in battery capacity. At the same time, the iPod battery icon will animate to show that the battery is charging.
TIP: If you are charging both units via the FireWire port, you can transfer music to iPod at the same time. If you are charging both units using the iPod power adapter, you can use the myPower USB 2.0 cable to transfer music to iPod. (See Connecting and Disconnecting myPower.)
