Important: NEVER over-tighten the RotoLock screws.

9.If there are wall studs up against either side of the utility box that prevent the RotoLock clamps from operating, secure the box by hand-driving a 1½” #6 drywall screw (not provided) through the angled hole on the side of the chassis and into the wall stud (see Figure 7). Important: Do not over-tighten the drywall screw.

10.Attach the iPort face to the utility box (see Figure 8).

•Fit the track on the bottom of the rear chassis into the groove formed by the two angled capacitors on the underside of the circuit board at the bottom of the iPod face.

•Slide the face into the chassis until it fits snugly into place.

Adjusting the iPort for Different iPod Models

The iPort can accommodate the following iPod models: iPod photo, iPod mini, 4th Generation iPod with Click Wheel, 3rd Generation iPod with touch wheel and buttons. From the factory it is set-up for any iPod model with a Dock Connector that is larger than 30GB.

•To adjust the iPort for the iPod mini and other iPods with a Dock Connector that are 30GB or smaller, extend the iPort’s center disc for- ward by rotating it counter-clockwise until you feel the first detent (see Figure 9, on page 11). Spring-loaded clamps at the bottom of the iPod well will hold these smaller models in place.
