RechaRgeable Mobile PoweR
Overview
myPower
™
for iPhone is a lithium polymer
battery wrapped in an elegant leather sleeve.
This battery doubles the run time of the iPhone
battery by powering the connected iPhone
on the go. When plugged into a USB power
adapter or computer USB port, myPower for
iPhone will charge its internal battery, and
that of a connected iPhone. A battery level
indicator shows the amount of remaining
battery power.
As a bonus, myPower for iPhone doubles as a
dock for iPhone, enabling the device to sync
with a connected computer while docked and
charging.

Using myPower for iPhone
You can use myPower for iPhone to power
your iPhone, or to charge your iPhone while
connected to external power. When powering
iPhone, myPower for iPhone will bypass the
iPhone battery to power a connected iPhone,
thus extending the overall life of the iPhone
battery. The battery will not charge iPhone
unless connected to an external power source.
myPower for iPhone is charged in two ways: by
connecting to a USB power adapter, or to a USB
port on a computer. The included USB cable is
used to charge the device. If you are using an
iPhone-compliant USB power adapter, you also
may charge your iPhone at the same time by
inserting the iPhone in the case while connected
to an external power source.
As a bonus feature, myPower for iPhone
doubles as a dock to sync iPhone to your
computer when connected via the USB cable.
In this case, myPower for iPhone will both sync
and charge iPhone.
Inserting iPhone into the Case
Placing iPhone in the Case
1. Slide iPhone into the case, ensuring that the
iPhone is fully docked onto the 30-pin
connector in the bottom of the case.

iPhone battery will not be used while iPhone
is docked in the case.
Removing iPhone from the Case

2. Gently pull iPhone from the case.
Viewing the Battery Capacity
When iPhone is docked into the case, the
Battery Level Indicator on the bottom left side of
myPower for iPhone will indicate the remaining
battery capacity as follows:
Green (65%-100%)
Orange (30%-65%)
Red (1%-30%)
Charging myPower for iPhone
An empty myPower for iPhone will charge in
about 3 hours using an iPhone compliant power
adapter. Both empty batteries can be charged in
about 6 hours.
1. Connect the mini USB connector to the mini
USB port on myPower for iPhone.

2. Connect the USB connector to a USB power
adapter or to a USB port on a computer.
The battery capacity indicator will turn red
to indicate the myPower for iPhone battery
is being charged. If connected, the iPhone
battery charging status indicator will indicate
charging.
3. Unplug the USB cable when the battery
capacity indicator changes from red to green
as the battery is fully charged.
Note: If you are charging iPhone at the same
time, you must use an iPhone-compliant USB
adapter.
Syncing iPhone
The intelligent design of myPower for iPhone
enables you to sync iPhone while charging it via
a USB port on your computer.
1. Connect the mini USB connector to the mini
USB port on myPower for iPhone.
2. Connect the USB connector to a USB port
on a computer. iPhone will sync with your
computer.
Storing myPower for iPhone
Lithium polymer batteries must be used
consistently for maximum performance.

Therefore, if you do not use the battery often,
you should complete a charge cycle (discharge/
recharge the battery) once a month.
While not in use, store myPower for iPhone in a
dry area where the temperature is between -4°
and 113° F (-20 and 45°C). Extreme tempera-
tures can damage the battery, and the battery
life will decrease with higher temperatures or a
moist environment.
Troubleshooting
If myPower for iPhone does not power iPhone,
take these steps:
1. Verify that iPhone is properly docked into the
30-pin connector at the bottom of the case.
2. Check the Battery Level Indicator to verify that
myPower for iPhone is charged.
