Frequently Asked Questions - DGIPOD-318 DREAMGEAR

How do I install batteries for the Audio Vault?

Open the battery door on the main speaker casing. Insert 4 AAA batteries into the compartment, following the polarity (+ and -) symbols marked inside. Close the battery door.

How do I connect my iPod or MP3 player to the speaker?

Connect your audio device to the unit by plugging the built-in 3.5mm audio cable into the headphone/output jack of your device. For iPods, ensure you use the correct bracket for a secure fit.

Which brackets should I use for my iPod?

The Audio Vault includes different brackets labeled for specific iPod models. Select the bracket that matches your iPod model. For non-iPod MP3 players, choose a bracket that securely holds your device. Note: standard iPod and iPod video 60GB do not require any bracket.

How do I turn on the speaker and start playing music?

Slide the power switch inside the Audio Vault to the 'MUSIC' position. The blue LED will light up. Close the Audio Vault and control your iPod using the transparent window. Adjust volume on your connected device.

How does the Wake to iPod alarm feature work?

Set the alarm on your iPod as per its instructions. Slide the power switch to 'ALARM'. The unit stays in sleep mode until the iPod's alarm goes off, then it will play the last selected song. Ensure your iPod is powered on and volume is set appropriately. There is a 3-5 second delay before music starts.

Can I use non-iPod MP3 players with this device?

Yes, you can use any MP3 player with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connect it via the built-in cable and choose a bracket that holds it securely. Note that the Wake to iPod feature will not work with non-iPod devices.

How do I control my iPod when it's inside the Audio Vault?

The Audio Vault has a transparent window on the front that allows you to fully control your iPod (e.g., play, pause, skip) without removing it. For non-iPod devices, you may need to set controls before closing the case.

What does the blue LED indicate?

The blue LED illuminates when the speaker is powered on (switch set to MUSIC or ALARM). It turns off when the switch is set to OFF.

Why is there a delay before music starts when the alarm goes off?

There is a 3-5 second delay between the iPod's alarm triggering and the Audio Vault starting playback. This is normal.
