Using the iP56 Charging & Playing iPhone and iPod
The iP56 has a retracting dock to play and charge your iPhone or iPod while connected to AC power (it will ALSO charge when operating on the internal rechargeable battery and iP56 is powered on). The dock will charge your iPhone or iPod until completely charged then stop charging.

Using the iP56 Using the Aux Line-in Jack
The iP56 has an aux line-in jack located on the back of the unit to play other audio devices. Connect one end of a standard 3. 5mm audio cable (available at www. ihomeaudio. com) to the aux line-in jack and the other end into the headphone or line-out jack on your audio device. Note: Do not play an audio device through the aux line-in jack while an iPhone or iPod is playing in the dock or you will hear both at once.
Resetting the iP56
Your iP56 was designed with a special surge protection circuit to prevent permanent damage to the unit in the event of an unexpected power surge. If your unit appears to be `locked up' and is not operating normally, and you know that the battery is properly charged, use a straightened paper clip, toothpick, or similar object to press the RESET button, located on the back panel next to the AC jack. This will unlock the unit and restore the original factory default settings.
