your iPhone or iPod Touch, this system provides high quality audio performance and lets you enjoy videos in
horizontal view.
Please read this instruction carefully before the appliance is operated and keep it for future reference.

wall outlet.

Install/Replace backup Battery
The iP41 uses a CR2032 battery for 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 backlight will not remain lit, but current time and alarm time
settings will be temporarily maintained. Otherwise, you must reset the time and alarm settings.
1. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected. Otherwise all settings may be lost during battery

replacement.

near the battery compartment. Close the compartment door.

to water, fire, or high temperatures. Do not place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other container
