iPod
in the home environment. The iK350 is fully featured with dual full-range 4" C102mm) KICKER drivers and 1/2"
(13mm) Mylar tweeters driven by apowerful stereo amplifier with digital signal processing. The 4.5" (114mm) square
passive radiator (subwoofer) on the back of the iK350 balances the sonic output, adding the punchy low-frequency
response that put KICKER subwoofers on the map. The rotary control and infrared remote allow simple, streamlined
control of your iK350 Stereo System. The iK350 can be used with any 4th generation or newer iPod.
In addition, the
iK350 boasts awide range of connectivity options including stereo RCA outputs, composite video output, and a1/8"
stereo auxiliary input for incorporating additional audio devices with your iK350 Stereo System. Note: Third Generation
and olderiPods work by connecting their headphone output to the auxiliary input on the rear of the iK35o.
The iK350 will begin
to authenticate your iPod. During this time, the
"DOCK"
LED will flash until authentication is complete. If "DOCK" continues

in an environment where exposure to liquids is possible. This includes but is
not exclusive to areas where splashing, dripping, leaks, spills, and exposure to rain can occur. Liquid containers should
not
be placed on or near the iK350 Stereo System. The iK350 Stereo System should not be cleaned with liquid cleaners.
Use only adry cloth to clean the iK350. Only use the iK350
in areas with adequate open ventilation allowing at least 4"
of space on
all sides of the iK350. Do not set the iK350 on any surface or cover the iK350 with any object that could
impede the airflow to and from the iK350 Stereo System. The iK350 should not be placed near any source of heat. This
includes but
is not limited to stoves, radiators, heating elements, electronic heat sources, and areas where excessive
solar heat can be generated. Do not install the iK350 near any ftame or place any flammable objects near the device.
The power outlet used to provide power to the iK350 should be accessible at
all times. The polarized 2-prong electrical
plug has awide blade and narrow blade that should
fit into the corresponding wide and narrow receiving connections
of your electrical outlet. Do not force the plug into the outlet.
If the plug provided with the unit does not fit, consult with
an electrician to upgrade the electrical outlet accordingly. The power cord should be situated in away that protects it
from being pinched, walked on, tripped
over, or accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet or the electrical input on the
iK350. Do not
run the cable through doorways or underneath objects that could damage the wire or tear the insulating
material surrounding the wire. Only use the manufacturer supplied power supply with the iK350. We recommend using a
surge protector/power conditioner and unplugging the iK350 during any electrical storms or situations that could cause
voltage fluctuations
in the electrical system. 3
