iQube and headphones
The iQube is a portable amplifier to be used with a music source such as an mp3 player and to be
used with headphones. The iQube can play loud enough to permanently damage your hearing.
To protect your hearing when using the iQube and/or headphones always abide the following
general rules:
• Turn the volume fully down to zero and then switch the unit on!
• Then connect the unit to a PC-USB port if desired so! Only then put on your headphones!
• Turn the volume up to listen but keep the volume setting low at all times!
• Minimize the time you listen as much as possible!
• Remove your headphones before disconnecting the USB or switching the unit off!
Even low volumes can damage your hearing when you are listening for many hours.
Also replacement- or other headphones may play louder than those originally delivered with your
music source. When changing headphones reset the volume setting to zero and start from there
on turning the volume slowly up to an acceptable volume.

Connection terminals from the left to the right:
Input:
This is to connect an analogue input source, for example a mp3 player or a CD player.
Mini USB digital- and charge input:
This is to connect your unit to the USB output of a computer or laptop. The unit will switch auto-
matically from analogue to digital signal input when connected.
When connected the unit will be automatically charged. Please allow for overnight charging to
reach maximum charged batteries.
You can also use this input to only charge the unit by using the same cable and connect it to a
wall adapter having a USB charger output.
Do not connect the unit to any other source then an USB output as this may cause harm to the
unit. If a charge is applied to the unit via de mini USB input the analogue part will be automati-
cally switched off. The unit will only play through USB.
So you cannot simultaneously charge the unit and listen to the analogue input.
Output:
This is to connect your headphones.
