Use it to play nondocking iPods or other audio devices through the iH7 Setting up Antennas Line-in Jack (one end in the device’s line out or headphones jack, the other in the iH7 line in jack). Make sure there is no iPod docked in the iH7 when using the line-in jack (however, you can charge shuffle while using line-in). Press the iPod Button.

The Volume Wheel of the iH7 does not control line-out volume (adjust on attached device instead). The Line Out Jack is not recommended for headphones.

Replacing iH7 Backup Batteries

Install/Replace Backup Battery

The iH7 uses a backup battery system to provide continuous alarm operation and clock settings in the event of a power failure. If the Battery Low Icon located on the left of the display is flashing, it is time to replace the backup batteries. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected, otherwise all settings may be lost during battery replacement.

Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit. Insert 2 “AA” batteries as indicated. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.
