Operating the Belkin TunePower
Time periods listed are for the 3G iPod. Other iPod models
may have slight time variances.
Green: The battery is fully charged.
Amber: The battery is partially charged.
The transition from green to red
is gradual indicating the charge
status of the battery.
Red: Less than 20 minutes remain.
Note: iPod mini and 4G iPod players will recharge their internal
battery from the TunePower device*, though the charging icon
will not be displayed on the iPod screen. After three to four
hours, the TunePower will be completely discharged and can
be removed from the iPod (while the internal iPod battery is
approximately 75% charged). TunePower provides 8–10 hours
of additional play time.
*Performance may vary based on Apple iPod firmware version
in use. Visit belkin.com for details.
Operating the Belkin TunePower
Once the Belkin TunePower is connected to the iPod, the
iPod will run off the battery pack instead of the internal
iPod battery (as long as there is enough power in the
battery pack).
The TunePower will provide 8–10 hours of additional
play time*
*Performance may vary based on Apple® iPod firmware
version in use. Visit belkin.com for details.
To check the remaining
battery power level, press
the button on the top
end of the TunePower
and let go. The button
will light up to indicate

Charging the Belkin TunePower
Approximate charging times are as follows:
TunePower (whether connected to iPod or not): 2 hours
iPod fast-charge time (while connected to the TunePower):
2 hours for iPod and 1 hour for iPod mini (charges up to 80%
of battery capacity)
Full-charge time (for iPod and iPod mini): 4 hours
If the LED charge indicator flashes at any time during
charging, a FAULT has occurred. Simply disconnect the
Belkin TunePower from the supplied cable for approximately
30 seconds, and reconnect the cable. Charging should begin
automatically.
Notes: The Belkin TunePower will supply power to the iPod
whenever it is connected. When not in use, it is helpful to
disconnect the Belkin TunePower from the iPod, or make sure
that the iPod is in the OFF and LOCKED position to conserve
power.
The iPod can be charged at the same time as the Belkin
TunePower. Doing so should not increase the length of time that
it takes to charge the iPod.
Charging the Belkin TunePower
For additional power and charging,
connect the DC plug end of the
included cable into the DC jack on
the top of the TunePower.
Connect the FireWire® end into
the AC wall charger that ships
with your iPod, or to any FireWire
port on a laptop or desktop
computer.
The LED charge indicator will illuminate when the Belkin
TunePower is charging. This indicator will turn off when
the battery has been charged to approximately 90%. To
maximize charge, leave the battery pack connected for 10
minutes after the indicator turns off. Disconnecting the
Belkin TunePower before this time, or leaving it connected
for longer periods, will not damage the TunePower.
While the iPod is connected to the TunePower, both the
iPod and the TunePower can be charged simultaneously.
After the TunePower is completely charged, the charging
cycle will continue to charge the iPod.

Helpful Hints
The Belkin Battery Pack has a life cycle of 400–500 cycles.
Temperature can reduce the life cycle of this product. Belkin
recommends 0–30 degrees Celsius for charging and 0–50
degrees Celsius for discharge (storage above 40 degrees
Celsius can reduce life cycle).
The Belkin TunePower does not have to be completely
discharged (LED red or off) before charging. The Belkin
TunePower can be charged at any charge level. This will not
reduce the life cycle of the TunePower.
Helpful Hints
As with all rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the TunePower
will slowly discharge over time, even when not connected
to the iPod. High temperatures will increase the rate that the
Belkin TunePower will self-discharge.
When storing the Belkin TunePower for more than one
month, Belkin recommends:
1. The TunePower should be discharged—the LED indicator
should be red. If stored in any other state (including no
LED), the Belkin TunePower may lose some of its capacity,
which may or may not be recoverable in the future.
The Belkin TunePower should NEVER be stored for long
periods of time when fully charged.
2. Store the TunePower in a cool dry location. The best
temperature range for storage is -20–40 degrees Celsius.
3. It is recommended that the TunePower be charged for 10–
15 minutes every six months (being stored) to decrease
the risk of lost capacity.

Utilisation du TunePower de Belkin
Lorsque le TunePower est connecté et allumé, l’iPod
fonctionne sur la batterie, et non plus sur sa batterie
interne (tant que la charge de la batterie est suffisante pour
le faire fonctionner).
Le TunePower vous offre de 8 à 10 heures d’écoute
supplémentaires*
*La performance dépend de la version du micrologiciel
Apple® iPod que vous utilisez. Visitez le site belkin.com
pour de plus amples informations.
Pour vérifier la charge
restante, appuyez sur
le bouton au-dessus
du TunePower et
relâchez-le. Le bouton
d’allume et indique le
niveau de charge
de la batterie :
Utilisation du TunePower de Belkin
Les temps restants montrés correspondent à l’iPod de 3e
génération. Les temps restants des différents modèles d’iPod
peuvent varier.
Vert : La batterie est entièrement chargée.
Ambré : La batterie est partiellement chargée.
Le passage du vert au rouge se fait
de façon graduelle et indique le
niveau de charge de la batterie.
Rouge : Temps restant : moins de 20 minutes.
Remarque : Les iPod mini et les iPod de 4e génération
rechargent leur batterie interne à partir du TunePower*, bien
que l’icône indiquant le chargement n’apparaît pas sur l’écran
de l’iPod. Après 3 à 4 heures, le TunePower est complètement
épuisé et peut être retiré de l’iPod (alors que la batterie interne
est rechargée à 75%).

Recharge du TunePower de Belkin
Pour plus d’alimentation et pour le
chargement, branchez la fiche CC du
câble fourni dans la prise CC sur
le TunePower. Branchez l’extrémité
FireWire® dans la prise FireWire du
chargeur secteur fourni avec votre
iPod ou dans n’importe quel port
FireWire de votre PC de bureau
ou portable.
Le témoin indicateur du niveau de
charge s’allume lorsque le TunePower
est en cours de chargement. L’indicateur
s’éteint lorsque la batterie est rechargée aux
environs de 90%. Pour maximiser la recharge, laissez l’unité
branchée pendant 10 minutes après que le témoin se soit
éteint. Débrancher le TunePower de Belkin avant la fin
de ces 10 minutes ou le laisser branché plus longtemps
n’endommagera pas votre TunePower.
Alorsque l’iPod est branché au TunePower, ceux-ci peuvent
être rechargés simultanément. Après le chargement complet
du TunePower, le cycle de charge poursuit la recharge de
l’iPod.
Recharge du TunePower de Belkin
Les temps de chargement approximatifs sont :
TunePower (branché ou non à l’iPod) : 2 heures
Charge rapide iPod (lorsque branché sur le TunePower) :
2 heures pour l’iPod et 1 heure pour l’iPod mini (recharge
jusqu’à 80% de la capacité de la batterie)
Charge complète (pour iPod et iPod mini) : 4 heures
Si le témoin indicateur clignote à un moment ou à un autre
pendant la recharge, une ERREUR est survenue. Débranchez
simplement le TunePower du câble fourni, attendez environ
30 secondes, puis rebranchez le câble. Le processus de
recharge devrait débuter normalement.
Remarques : Le TunePower de Belkin alimente l’iPod à tout
moment lorsque celui-ci est connecté. Lorsque vous ne l’utilisez
pas, il est judicieux de débrancher le TunePower de l’iPod, ou
de s’assurer que l’iPod est en position ÉTEINT et BLOQUÉ, afin
d’éviter le gaspil d’énergie.
L’iPod peut être rechargé en même temps que le TunePower de
Belkin. Ceci ne devrait pas augmenter le temps de recharge de
l’iPod.
