Charging myPower for iPod
Before using myPower for iPod for the first time, you must charge it for three hours. Then you must recharge
myPower for iPod whenever all the green or red power capacity indicators on the front of the unit are off. You
have two options for charging myPower for iPod. You can charge the device via a FireWire port on your PC, or
by connecting to a FireWire power adapter (via the provided cable). A FireWire power adapter is included with
MP1140. If you have purchased MP1100 and did not receive a FireWire adapter with your iPod, you can
purchase the adapter from Apple or the Tekkeon web site.
Note:
myPower for iPod cannot be charged via its USB port. This port is for downloading and charging 5V
devices only.
As myPower for iPod is charging, the red and green lights on the front of the unit will turn on in sequence from
left to right. When myPower for iPod is charged to 65% capacity, the third green light turns on. Continue to
charge myPower for iPod for an additional 2 hours.
To charge myPower for iPod using a FireWire power adapter:
1. Connect one end of the myPower for iPod FireWire cable into the Firewire power adapter,
and plug the other end of the cable into the FireWire port on myPower for iPod.
2. Plug the power adapter into a working electrical outlet.
3. After three hours, unplug the power adapter as myPower for iPod will be fully charged.
(myPower for iPod will automatically shut down the power input when it is fully charged,
so you can charge it overnight.)

FireWire ports on some Windows-compatible computers may be 4-pin FireWire ports that are not
powered (rather than 6-pin ports). A 4-pin port cannot charge myPower for iPod when it is connected to that
port. In this case, you need to charge myPower for iPod using the FireWire power adapter.
