Placing the INMotion IM510  
Power Off  
Position the inMotion iM510 on a level surface,  
preferably close to you (within three feet).  
Turn off the inMotion iM510 by pushing the power  
button located on the top of the unit. The LED will  
turn off.  
Assembling the INMotion IM510  
Auto Shut-down (Standby)  
Open the inMotion iM510 docking bay by pushing  
the button located on the speaker grille. Connect  
the Sansa player to the inMotion iM510 by  
plugging the docking bay connector into the Sansa  
player port. If the Sansa player feels too loose  
inside the docking bay, remove it, and use a  
docking adapter (included) to reduce the depth of  
the docking bay. The docking adapters can be  
connected to the docking bay by inserting the  
small tab on the back of the adapter into the  
fitted space on the docking bay. The Sansa player  
should fit snugly inside the adapter.  
Note: Alternate audio sources — such as non-  
dockable MP3 players, CD players, portable DVD  
players, and laptops — can also be connected to  
the inMotion iM510. For more information, see the  
“Connecting to alternate audio source” section.  
During battery-only operation the inMotion iM510  
automatically shuts down/goes into standby mode  
if no audio is detected for three minutes. While  
this mode reduces battery consumption, it does  
not completely turn the inMotion iM510 off. To  
maximize battery life when not using the inMotion  
iM510, push the power button located on the top  
of the unit. The LED will turn off.  
NOTE: The Auto Shut-down (Standby) feature is  
active during battery-only operation. If the AC wall  
adapter is used, the inMotion iM510 will remain on  
as long as the power switch is in the “On” position.

The inMotion iM510 is equipped with a pass-  
through feature that allows you to sync your Sansa  
player with your computer while the Sansa player  
is docked. To sync your Sansa player with your
