Can I connect an AV230 XL to a video iPod® not listed on the package?
Yes. The iWear Composite A/V Adapter for iPod has been tested and approved for use with the iPod touch, iPod classic, iPod with video and 3rd generation iPod nano. It will also work with other iPod models that have video out capabilities. iPod models not listed have not been tested and approved by Apple.
Why does my iPhone display an option to go into Airplane Mode?
When you connect the Vuzix AV230 XL, your iPhone may present you with an option to go into Airplane Mode, which turns off the communication capability of the iPhone while it’s connected. This means that you’ll avoid potential audio interference, but you’ll be unable to make or receive calls.
How do I connect my iWear AV230 XL to my portable DVD player?
There are a couple of different ways to do it. The connection can be made using the RCA style composite AV cable that comes with your AV230 XL or you can purchase an optional cable designed to connect directly to your device. A large selection of optional cables are available from www.vuzix.com.
Can I use alternate earphones with an AV230 XL?
Yes. The earphones provided with the AV230 XL are removable and can be unplugged and plugged back in later if you wish to use them again. When using an alternate audio system with an iPod or other device, remove the AV230 XL earphones before connecting it to your iPod, to avoid excessive volume. Plug a set of headphones into the top headphone jack on your iPod or the audio out jack on other devices for audio.
Can I use a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery in my AV230 XL.
Yes. Most well known brands of NiMH batteries will work fine but there are a few brands, such as the Energizer Rechargeable NiMH 2500mAh that do not fit properly into the AV230 XL. Most batteries are built with their positive post of a standard dimension. Batteries with a shorter positive post may not fit correctly into the AV230 XL’s battery enclosure.
