Using the iD50
2
Connecting the Unit to Power Source
Connect the AC adaptor cable plug into the DC jack on the back of the system, then plug the AC cord of the AC adaptor
into the wall outlet. Adaptor must be plugged in to operate unit. The unit does not operate on battery (a battery back up
system maintains clock settings during power failures).
Updating your iD50 firmware
For best performance, make sure to update the iD50 firmware. To do so, download the free iHome Set app from the App
Store. Launch the app, scroll to “Search for Update”, then follow directions to update the firmware.
Turning the Unit ON or OFF
Press the Power/App Button on the unit at any time to turn the unit On or Off. Note that a docked iPad, iPhone or iPod
will continue to charge when the unit is turned off as long as the AC adaptor is plugged in. iPod Classic (1G and 2G) will
not charge.
Setting the Clock Time Using AutoSync
The AutoSync feature allows you to sync the time setting on the unit to the time on your iPad, iPhone or recent model iPod
(iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod Classic; older iPod models such as iPod mini do not support this feature).
1. Press and hold the Clock Button located on the top of the unit for 2 seconds. “AUTOSYNC ON” flashes on the display and
a beep sounds. The unit will now autosync every time a capable iPhone/iPod or iPad is docked, and at 2AM each day. To
turn auto sync off, press and release the or Button while AUTOSYNC ON is flashing until “AUTOSYNC OFF appears.
2. Once sync is completed, “TIME UPDATED” appears on the display followed by 2 beeps indicating time sync is complete.
The updated time will appear on the display.
3. If sync was not successful, “SYNC FAILED” will appear on the display and a long beep will sound. If this happens, please
try again, with a different iPhone or iPod if needed. If sync still fails, please see Setting Clock Manually below to set the
clock.
NOTE: iPhone time is automatically updated to the correct time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPad or iPod is
accurate only to the time on the computer the last time the iPad/iPod was synced to it. It’s possible to have up to 59 seconds
difference between the unit and synced iPhone/iPod.
Setting Time and Calendar Manually
1. Press and hold the Clock Button located on the back of the unit until the time display flashes.
2. Press the or Button to adjust the time (hold for a few seconds to advance or reverse rapidly). Remember to set

(Note: if you wish to change the time display from the 12-hour format to the 24-hour format, sometimes called ‘military time’,
press and release either the
or Button
to switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display formats.)

current year is displayed.
