Getting Started Power up
Step 1 – Power Up
Press and hold the POWER button on the top of the
unit for 3 sec. to power up your HitchTM unit. You will
see the start-up screen for about 15 seconds, followed
by the Settings menu on the LCD screen. Press the
SELECT button to advance to the Main Menu. Do not
connect a USB device to the HitchTM unit before power
up.
Note: The Hitch™ unit is equipped with an
internal Lithium polymer rechargeable battery
pack that is capable of powering itself and two
other USB devices. It is charged at the factory.
If the battery has discharged, you can use the
included AC adapter to initially test and operate
the unit. We recommend fully charging your
Hitch™ unit (3 – 4 hours) before using it.
When the battery is completely discharged, the
Hitch will not boot up, only the Here and There
icons will light. You must charge it for
approximately 1 minute with the AC adapter
before using.
When the HitchTM unit first powers up, it is
automatically in Hitch Mode and ready to connect to
any USB mass storage devices. To connect to an Apple
iPod*, see the Music Mode section on page 15.
