Frequently Asked Questions - i189 ILUV

How do I connect my iPod/iPhone to the i189?

The i189 features a built-in universal dock. First, install the correct dock adapter for your device. Then, slide open the dock drawer, insert the adapter, and place your iPod/iPhone into the dock. Ensure your device is in play mode to hear music.

Why is there no sound coming from the speaker?

Check that your iPod is properly docked and in play mode. Ensure the volume is turned up using the Volume + button. Also verify the AC adapter is connected and the power is on (LED indicator should be lit). If using an external device via AUX, check the cable and source volume.

How do I charge my iPod using the i189?

Your iPod will charge automatically whenever it is docked and the AC adapter is connected. Charging occurs both when the speaker is powered on or off, until the iPod reaches a full charge.

What should I do if my iPod doesn't fit into the dock?

Ensure you are using the correct dock adapter for your iPod model. Remove any case or 'skin' from the device. Check for obstructions on the dock connector and try again. If it still doesn't fit, refer to the list of compatible iPod models in the manual.

How do I use the 3D surround sound feature?

Press the 3D button on the top of the speaker while music is playing. The blue LED will light up to indicate 3D surround sound is active. Press again to turn it off.

Can I use the i189 with other MP3 players?

Yes, the i189 has an AUX input (3.5mm jack) that allows you to connect any audio device with a headphone output, such as MP3 players, CD players, computers, and more.

How do I clean and maintain the i189?

Clean the unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Avoid using stronger cleaning agents like benzine or thinner. Place the speaker on a level surface away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

What should I do if the speaker doesn't power on?

Check that the AC adapter is properly plugged into the speaker and the wall outlet. Try a different outlet. If the power LED still does not light up, the adapter may be faulty. Contact iLuv support.

Is the i189 compatible with iPhone?

Yes, the i189 is designed to work with iPhone. The built-in universal dock accommodates iPhone models. However, always ensure you use the correct dock adapter for a secure fit.

USER SAFETY GUIDE

ESTABLISH A SAFE SOUND LEVEL

Over time hearing will adapt to continuous exposure to loud sounds and what can seem normal, may in fact be harmful.

To guard against this BEFORE HEARING ADAPTS, set the volume at a low level.

• Slowly increase the level until sound can be heard comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
  • Hearing damage is cumulative and is irreversible.
• Ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates the volume is too loud.

Once a comfortable listening level has been established, DO NOT INCREASE THE SOUND LEVEL FURTHER.

The following list of typical sound levels may assist you in recognizing how loud you have set the volume level.

DECIBEL Level Example

30dB Quiet library, soft whisper
40dB Living room, fridge freezer bedroom away from traffic
50dB Normal conversation, quiet office, light traffic
60dB Electric sewing machine
70dB Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE HARMFUL WITH CONSTANT EXPOSURE

80dB Average city traffic, alarm clock buzzer at 2 feet, food mixer

90dB Motorcycle, heavy goods vehicle, petrol lawn mower

100dB Pneumatic drill, chain saw, garbage truck, disco / night-club

120dB Rock concert, thunderclap

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT HEARING LOSS

140dB Gunshot 2 feet away (THRESHOLD OF PAIN)
