A Consumer Guide to Product Safety
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured
to ensure your personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical
shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before
installation and use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take
special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.
1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example:
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet
basement.
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does
not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated
on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also,
it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet,
which may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the
type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
5. Power-Cable Protection – Power supply cables should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cable exits the unit
to where it is plugged into an AC socket.
6. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the
Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning instructions.
7. Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
and liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents located on the product.
8. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer.
9. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall
socket and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
10. Overloading – Do not overload wall sockets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
11. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when:
A. the power supply cable or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate
normally.
12. Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of
time, such as a month or longer, the power cable should be unplugged from
the unit to prevent damage or corrosion.
13. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those
methods described in the user’s operating instructions. Service methods not
covered in the operating instructions should be referred to qualified service
personnel.

Locking/Unlocking the iM70
To compress and lock speaker, gently press speaker down from the
top and twist clockwise to lock in place.
To unlock and expand the speaker, grip the top and bottom and give a
small twist counter-clockwise. DO NOT pull hard once open, as the
built in spring will automatically extend the speaker to its proper
position.
Charging the iM70
The iM70 is powered by a rechargeable battery in the
speaker. Charge the unit before use.
• Connect the larger USB plug to a powered USB port, such
as that on a computer. The light on the speaker will stay red
while charging and turn blue when fully charged.
• Connect the micro-USB plug to the Audio/Charge USB connection
port on the side of the speaker. Refer to the Charge Before Use
diagram for proper charging connections.
When the blue power light turns red, or if you start to notice sound
distortion at higher volumes, it's time to recharge the battery.
Note: you can continue to listen to the speaker while it is
charging
For Models That Use Lithium Batteries:
• Lithium batteries can explode or cause burns if disassembled,
shorted, recharged, exposed to water, fire, or high temperatures &
not handled appropriately
• Do not place loose batteries in a pocket, purse, or other container
containing metal objects, do not mix with used or other battery
types, or store with hazardous or combustible materials.
• Store in cool, dry, ventilated area.
• Follow applicable laws and regulations for transport and disposal.
Connecting the iM70
• Connect the micro-USB plug to the audio/charge input jack on the
speaker.
• Connect the stereo 3.5mm audio plug to the headphone jack or
line-out of any audio device.
• Slide the Power Switch of the speaker to the ON position. The blue
power light will come on.
• Press play on your audio device and adjust its volume to listen to
audio.
• If you wish to “daisy-chain” iM70 speakers, connect the 3.5mm audio
plug to the Line Out Jack on an iM70 that is already connected to an
audio source (see above) and the micro-USB plug to the audio input
jack on another iM70.
Note: the larger USB plug is used for charging only, not for audio.
