3. Quick Start
a) Ensure IML Connector devices are charged sufficiently before
use
b) Connect the USB licensing dongle to a ‘control PC’
c) Setup the ‘control PC’ (i.e. power supply, projector/screen, etc.)
d) Connect the A/B USB cable between a ‘control PC’ and one of
the IML Connectors, which will then initialise (blue status LED)
e) Connect the devices to the system
f) Start Lumi software
g) Check that all devices have connected in IML Connector
System Manager
h) Proceed with use of the IML Connector System

4. Licensing
A battery powered, timed USB HASP ‘dongle’ is used for preventing unlicensed use of Lumi
software as well as providing a level of security for the owner of the IML Connector System.
The information contained within a licensing dongle is used to allow the use of specific Lumi
software and to enable certain features and functions within it. The licence will also limit the
number of IML Connector devices that may be used as part of the system.
a) Plug the dongle into any available USB port on the control
PC. A red LED will light up inside the casing. If the LED is
flashing, wait until it is solid before proceeding. If it is the
first time the dongle has been used with the PC, new
hardware will be detected and device drivers installed.
b) The HASP device drivers are pre-installed onto a PC with any
Lumi software.
c) The dongle must remain connected to the control PC for the
IML Connector devices to function.
d) Licensed dongles can be updated with new functionality and
timing information without having to be returned to Lumi.
e) The licence will expire at a certain date and time. Users
need to ensure it is updated before re-using.
f) When required, an update file is generated by Lumi and
sent to the user.
The IML Connector System will not operate
without a valid licensing dongle.
Important
Lumi recommends that the dongle is kept in
a safe and secure place when not being
used, and that it is insured to the value of a
replacement licence.

5. Charging
This section describes the process for charging IML Connector devices using an IML Multidock or IML Minidock. Whilst there are
slight differences in the below instructions between the two dock devices, functionality remains the same.
›IML Multidock
a) Remove the cover of the charging case.
b) If not already in the IML Multidock (i.e. ‘docked’), return the
IML Connector devices to the charging rack.
c) Connect the IEC power lead to the rear of the charging case.
d) Once powered, the fan built into the IML Multidock will start.
This is designed to circulate air around the IML Connector
devices and prevent overheating whilst charging.
e) The charging process will start straight after the initial boot
up phase of the IML Connector devices (taking approximately
30 seconds). The ‘traffic light’ colour coding on the device’s
status LED will then indicate the current level of battery
charge.
f) Once power is connected to the dock, the ON/OFF button on
the front can be used to cycle through different power states
(by pressing and holding). The colours of the two LED lights
next to the power button (i.e. the left-hand side of an IML
Multidock) indicate the power state of the dock (see the next
page for further details).
›IML Minidock
An IML Minidock (pictured on the right) offers the same docking and
charging functionality as an IML Multidock, for 10 IML Connector
devices. IML Minidocks require a separate power supply unit and
cannot be powered with the same IEC power lead as an IML Multidock.
Always charge the IML Connector devices with
the case cover removed.
Important
Whilst charging, the status LED on the IML
Connector device will flash depending on its
current battery level…
Red 0 –90%
Amber 91 –99%
Green 100%
Reminder

›OFF
Power is connected to the dock, but it is in the
OFF state. Devices will not charge.
›ON - Radio Off
Power is connected to the dock and it is in the ON
state. The devices will charge but will not connect
by radio to the Lumi system (if running).
›ON - Radio On
Power is connected to the case and the radio is
switched on. Devices will charge, but will also
connect to the IML system (if running).
›If the status LED on an IML Connector device isn’t flashing, it is not
charging. Check the device is correctly inserted into the dock.
›If an IML Connector device battery is completely flat (i.e. won’t
turn on), it may take a short period of time to start charging after
being docked.
›For an IML Connector device which is turned on, when the battery
is critically low (approximately 1 hour remaining) a low battery
warning is provided by a small battery icon ( ) in the status bar
on the device display screen.
›An IML Connector device with a flat battery will take approximately
8 hours to charge and once the battery is fully charged will provide
up to 12 hours of life (depending on level of use).
Reminder
To toggle between the two different ON
states, press and hold the power button on
the IML Multidock or IML Minidock.
Unlike some electrical devices, the IML
Connector device batteries do not need to
be completely discharged before fully
recharging.
