link is established. On OutCast this light will start off green when the power switch is pressed and switch to
blue after the link is in place. Once there is a wireless link you should be able to hear the music from your iPod
through the OutCast system.
You can leave the iCast system hooked up 24 hours per day if you wish to do so – it is designed for continuous
operation. However, if you do not intend to use the system for an extended period of time, you should disconnect
the power supplies from the wall outlets to conserve energy.
Find the audio output of your computer (usually a 3.5 mm
headphone jack) and connect the included 3.5 mm mini-to-
mini cable between the two devices. If your computer has
stereo RCA jacks, then use the other cable. This RCA-to-
mini cable can also be used to connect the output jacks of a
CD player or other audio device to your iCast Transmitter.
Once you have connected the Transmitter to your computer,
the operation is exactly the same as the normal installation.
However, the iPod control buttons on the OutCast will not function when there is no iPod in the dock. Those
controls are only
only for iPod use. You must select your music and your play lists from the fi les stored on your
computer. iCast only transmits what your computer or your CD unit is playing
.
Your iCast system is strictly an
audio device
–
it will not transmit video or any type of computer fi le.

side of the unit, under the rubber cover.
When an MP3 player or portable CD
player is connected to this jack using
the supplied connecting cord, then the
music on that device will play instead
of the music from the iCast transmitter.
Once the local player has been
removed, the music source will once
again be the iCast. Please note that
track forward. The two LED lights are the red battery indicator on
the left and the green power/blue link indicator on the right.

of up to 150 feet (45 meters) from your iCast Transmitter when
used indoors. Outdoors, the signal may carry up to 350 feet
(100 meters) depending on conditions. To maximize the distance
outdoors you may wish to locate your iCast transmitter near
a window facing the outdoor area you intend to use. On each
Soundcast product there is a blue light that will fl icker when
there is no wireless link, and then glow steadily once the wireless
