ION TAILGATER Guide D'utilisation Rapide page 4

DIAGRAM AND PARTS DESCRIPTION
1. Instrument / Microphone Input with Volume
Control (1/4"): This mono input accepts a 1/4"
input such as a microphone, guitar, or other
musical instrument.
2. Auxuliary input with iPod/Aux Volume Control
(Stereo RCA): This knob controls the level of the
iPod and the RCA input. This stereo RCA input
can be used to connect a CD, MP3, or other
audio source. To connect to a portable device
with a 1/8" headphone jack, you need a 1/8" to
RCA cable which is NOT included.
3. Master Volume Control: This knob controls the
master volume of the TAILGATER.
4. Radio Selector: This switch sets the radio to AM
or FM or turns the radio off. (Note: This switch
does not turn the unit's power off – just the radio.)
5. LCD: Displays the current radio station.
6. Tuner: Use these buttons to search for a radio
station. To "scan" (jump to the next available
station), hold this down for a few seconds until it
starts to seek a station.
7. Power LED: Indicates whether TAILGATER is on
or off.
8. Power Cable Input (IEC): Insert the included
power cable here to charge the unit. Note that
the TAILGATER can run off the power adapter
while it simultaneously charges the battery. The
charge indicator illuminates when the battery is
charging.
9. Voltage Selector*: This must be set to the proper
voltage setting for your location. To change its setting,
only remove *one* screw of the cover and slide it
aside to expose the selector.
10. Power ON/OFF Switch: Turns TAILGATER on or off.
Please note that while TAILGATER is connected to a
power source, it does not need to be powered on to
charge the battery.
11. Battery Level Indicator: While the unit is powered ON, these four lights indicate the power left in the battery.
Battery life varies based on volume and usage.
12. Dock Charge Switch: Turn on iPod charging by setting this switch to the "Dock Charge" position.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Use this troubleshooting guide if: The sound is distorted at high volumes.
The sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source or music instrument. Also, try to
reduce the overall volume of TAILGATER.
There is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level. This
will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs.
There is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphones: This is probably feedback. Point the
microphones away from the speaker.
