Using the iH80

Line-in Jack.
1. Plug one end of the audio patch cord (included) into the headphone or line-out jack on your audio device and the other
end of the patch cord into the iH80 Line-in Jack located on the back of the unit.

1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool or in a wet basement.
2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it

Service methods not covered in the operating instructions should be referred to qualified service personnel.
18. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
