Thank you for purchasing the Cambridge SoundWorks®PlayDock PD200.

The PlayDock PD200 is designed for use specifically with Creative’s

NOMAD Jukebox and we provide a flexible holder for this product.

plug of the PlayDock PD200 will fit the headphone jack of most portable

audio devices. PlayDock PD200 can play the output of these devices if

they are connected.

Operation

9) Press in the POWER button on the right side endcap.

The MUTE light will glow green.

10) With the Jukebox playing, adjust VOLUME ▲ or VOLUME ▼.

11) Use the WIDE operation mode for enhanced sound.

12) Pressing MUTE will silence the speaker (the light glows amber)

and enter a standby mode. The PlayDock PD200 will enter MUTE

mode after about five minutes of inactivity. It will restart when

music resumes, or when you press the MUTE button.

Charging

Keep the AC power adapter connected to the PlayDock PD200

whenever portable operation is not needed and AC power is available.

The sealed battery (lead-acid type) cannot be overcharged.

Portable Operation

After a 12-hour charge, the PlayDock PD200 will operate from its inter-

nal battery for about 8 hours at moderate volume. When the battery is

reaching the end of its charge, the sound distorts at higher volumes.

The PlayDock PD200 automatically shuts itself off when the battery

charge has been exhausted. If this happens, recharge the PlayDock

PD200 within a day or so to maintain the service life of the battery.

Battery Replacement

The battery inside the PlayDock PD200 has a service lifetime typically

exceeding two years. For maximum service life, do not attempt to

operate the PlayDock once it has automatically shut-off due to low bat-

tery charge. When the battery eventually fails to power the PlayDock

for more than two hours, replacement is required. Contact Cambridge

SoundWorks for a replacement.

1) To replace the battery, remove the three screws on the left hand

endcap (the endcap without connector jacks).

2) Note which connecter is attached to the battery’s positive

terminal. Detach both connectors from the battery terminals

and slide the battery out.

3) Install a fresh battery inside the PlayDock PD200 player.

4) Attach the positive connector and then the negative connector.

5) Replace the endcap and charge the battery for at least 12 hours

prior to portable operation.
