NOTE:
When operating on external power, the iWAY is designed to enter a
Standby mode if the external power source fails. For full details,
see the discussion of power button functions in Sec. 4.
External Power and Standby Mode
The iWAY has an optional Standby Mode (it is on, by default), which
allows the unit to conserve power while still monitoring your current
position. When the iWAY is in Standby Mode, it will activate quickly
when turned on.
If the iWAY is running on external power, and that power source is re-
moved, the iWAY will display a dialog warning you that it is about to
enter Standby Mode. If you want to keep operating the iWAY, you can
simply touch the screen to interrupt this automatic Standby.
However, if the iWAY does enter Standby in this manner, it will auto-
matically restart (or "wake up") as soon as external power is reconnected.
Tip:
These features of Standby Mode can be particularly handy in vehi-
cles where the ignition controls the cigarette lighter. In such vehi-
cles, simply connect the iWAY to external power, and then turning
the car off will automatically place the iWAY in Standby, and
starting the car will restart the iWAY.
External Connections
On the right side of your iWAY 350, you will find 3 sockets for external
connections. These are, from top to bottom, the USB cable connection
(for software updates), the headphone connection (which also works as
a line-out, for vehicles with an auxiliary line input to the stereo sys-
tem), and the power connection (described earlier).
USB-to-PC Cable Connection
The iWAY comes with a special cable designed to allow you to copy files
from your computer to the iWAY's MMC or SD Card. In this way, the
iWAY acts like a card reader. Please read the supplemental document
Making USB Connections Between iWAY 350c and Computers (which
was included with this unit) for details on attaching and using the
USB-to-PC Cable Connection.
MMC or SD Card
On the left side your iWAY, you will find the MMC or SD Card slot, as
shown in the following images. You will need an MMC (or SD) card to
play music or a photo slideshow. The iWAY automatically searches the
memory card for media files it can play.
