Thank you for purchasing the iHome iH18 portable system for your iPod Shuffle. Designed specifically to work
with your iPod Shuffle, this system provides high quality audio anywhere and also charges your shuffle.
Please read this instruction book carefully before operating the iH18, and keep it for future reference.
Install AC Adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor cable plug into the jack on the back of the system, then plug the AC adaptor into the
wall outlet. When connected to the AC adaptor, the iH18 charges your iPod shuffle and allows you to play your
iPod shuffle and to sleep to it.
NOTE: The iPod shuffle does NOT charge when the iH18 is operating on batteries. This AC adaptor
is for use with the iH18 ONLY. To avoid damage, do not use with cameras or any other devices.
Stabilizer
There is a Stabilizer located on the bottom rear of the unit. Extended, this provides additional stability when the
speakers are rotated to the upright position. To extend the stabilizer, turn the unit over (make sure no shuffle is
docked) and press up with both thumbs until the tray is fully extended. Reverse procedure to return tray to home
position.
Install/Replace Backup Battery
The iH18 uses a CR2032 button cell backup battery system to provide continuous alarm
operation and clock settings in the event of a power failure. If the Backup Battery has
been installed and a power failure occurs or the AC cord is accidentally disconnected,
the display will not remain lit, but the current time and alarm time settings will be temporarily
maintained. Otherwise, you must reset the time and alarm settings.
One CR 2032 clock backup battery is included with your unit and should be installed to
keep the clock running if the power is interrupted. In the future, if the unit has no display
or the Backup Battery Low Icon located on the right bottom of the display is flashing, it
is time to replace the backup battery.
1. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected. Otherwise all settings may be lost
during battery replacement.
2. Open backup battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit.
3. Insert one CR2032 button cell battery, checking that the polarity ( + and – ends of the
batteries) matches the drawing near the battery compartment. Close the compartment
cover.
