PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking and Set-up
•The display carton contains the main unit, the remote control handset, six (6) different iPod® adapters, and the external FM wire antenna (attached to the bottom of the main unit). Remove all of the components from the carton and make sure that nothing is accidentally discarded with the packing materials. We recommend that, if possible, you save the carton and packing materials in the event that your unit ever needs to be returned for service. Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to prevent your unit from damage during shipment.
•Remove all packing materials from the main unit and the accessories.
•Remove any descriptive labels from the front or top panels of your unit. Do not remove any labels from the back or bottom panels.
•Remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to secure the CD door and the secondary control cover door during shipment.
•Press on the right front corner of the CD door to release the lock and open the door. Remove the dummy CD transit protection card from the CD mechanism and discard it.
•Remove the “paper dummy iPod® ” from the docking area and discard it. That is for store display purpose only.
•Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length.
•Place the main unit on a stable, level surface such as a table, stand, or shelf, convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, vibration, and strong magnetic fields.

Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only. Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
NOTE: The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your AC outlets, you probably have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

•Do not mix old and new batteries.
•Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
•The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
•Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
•Exhausted batteries are to be removed.
•Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.
•Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
•Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries may explode or leak.

Installing The Back Up Batteries
This system includes a battery back up circuit that will maintain the clock, calendar, and alarm time settings and the preset tuner memories in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery back up circuit requires 2 “AAA” or UM-4 batteries, not included. We recommend that you install a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance. While it is not absolutely necessary to install the back up batteries it is strongly recommended. If you do not install the back up batteries it will be necessary to reset the clock, the alarm settings and the preset tuner memories each time the system is unplugged, or whenever you have an unexpected power interruption in your home.
NOTE: The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the cabinet. Before turning the unit upside down to install the back up batteries we suggest that you place a towel or similar padding under the unit to avoid scratching the finish on the top panel when the unit is upside down.
With the unit turned upside down on a soft padded surface, open the battery compartment by pressing the battery cover locking tab in the direction of the arrow and lifting the battery compartment cover upward.
Install 2 “AAA” batteries in the battery compartment according to the polarity markings engraved in the compartment.
If the batteries are inserted incorrectly the battery back up system cannot function.
After installing the batteries replace the battery compartment cover and make sure that it is firmly locked in place.

FM Antenna (On Bottom Panel)
The FM antenna wire is attached to a screw terminal on the bottom cabinet. Unwind the antenna wire completely and extend it to its full length before returning the cabinet to its upright position.
It may be necessary to adjust the direction of the FM antenna wire until you find the position that provides the best reception.

Reset Button (On Bottom Panel)
If this system is subjected to a sudden power surge, or excessive static electricity, the internal computer will shut down temporarily to prevent any permanent damage to the system. If you find that the system does not respond when you operate the controls on the top panel or the remote handset, you have probably experienced a sudden power surge that caused the internal computer to shut down.
To correct this problem and reset the internal computer, first disconnect the AC power cord for 60 seconds and then plug it in again.
If this still does not correct the problem, use the point of a ballpoint pen, a toothpick, a straightened paper clip, or similar object to press the RESET button, located in a small hole near the battery compartment door.
Pressing the RESET button will reset the system and clear the system memory. The system should then operate normally again, however it will be necessary to reset the clock, the alarm setting, and re-enter all of your preset stations in the tuner memory after pressing the RESET button.

Remote Control
The remote control supplied with this system allows you to operate all of the features and functions found on the main unit control panel. The remote receiver is located on the left side of the front panel display. To operate the remote control, aim the handset at the receiver on the front panel and press the appropriate button on the remote handset.
The effective operating distance of the remote control is approximately 15 feet from the remote receiver on the front panel.
IMPORTANT! Please note that the iPod® Shuffle has no interface to accept commands from a remote control. The remote control of this system will not operate an iPod® Shuffle. You must use the controls on the Shuffle itself to operate an iPod® Shuffle.
Remote Control Battery
The remote control operates on one 3V lithium ‘button’battery, Type CR2032 or equivalent. The battery was installed in the remote when you purchased this system.
To preserve the life of the battery a small clear plastic spacer tab is installed between the battery and the battery terminal. This tab must be removed before the remote control can be used.
To remove the tab simply pull it out of the battery compartment, as shown, and discard it.

The original battery should be able to power the remote control for 12 to 18 months or even longer, depending on the frequency of use. When the operation of the remote becomes intermittent or fails completely you should replace the battery as soon as possible.
To replace the battery, put the remote control face down and press the battery holder locking tab in the direction of the arrow and slide the battery holder out of the remote control.
Install a fresh CR2032 battery in the holder as shown and slide the holder back in to the remote control.
CR2032
IMPORTANT: Be sure to dispose of the old battery properly. Do not leave it around where a young child or a pet might play with or swallow it. If the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. Do not dispose of the old battery in a fire. The battery could leak or explode if incinerated.
CAUTION
DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.

Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
