Thank you for purchasing the Altec Lansing iM600
digital speaker system for iPod. When Altec Lansing
introduced the original inMotion, it set new standards
for sound and size and let a whole lot of music out of
the iPod. Today, the new iM600 raises the bar again
with an innovative and performance-leading design.
Charging the rechargeable battery:
The battery should be fully charged before initial use.
To recharge the battery, insert the barrel connector
from the power supply into the DC connector on the
rear of the inMotion iM600. After this connection is
made, insert the power supply into a wall outlet. The
indicator light turns on. When the battery is fully
recharged, the indicator light turns off.
