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.
