Using the iD38

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 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 iD38 firmware

For best performance, make sure to update the iD38 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. 

Setting the Clock Time Using AutoSync

The AutoSync feature automatically syncs the time, month/date, and year on the unit to the same settings on your iPad, 

iPhone, or recent model iPod.

AUTOSYNC SETTING

By default, the unit is set to auto SYNC ON mode and will attempt to autosync the time whenever a capable iPad, iPhone 

or iPad is docked. 

To adjust autosync settings

Press and hold the 

Time Set/Sync Button

 located on the top of the unit for 2 seconds. “SYNC ON” flashes on the 

display and a beep sounds. To turn autosync off, press and release the 

+

 or 

 

Button

 while “SYNC ON” is flashing 

until “OFF” appears. This will disable autosync and allow you to set the time manually (see 

Setting Time and Calendar 

Manually

 below).

1.   Dock your iPad, iPhone or recent model iPod in the unit. In about 3 seconds, the unit will sync to your device. 
2.  The unit will now autosync every time a capable iPad, iPhone or iPod is docked, and at 2AM each day. You can also 

manually sync a docked iPad, iPhone or iPod at any time by pressing and releasing the 

Time Set/Sync Button

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 iPad/iPhone/iPod.
