For purchasing this ¡Tone’“ iPod® Compatible Portable Stereo System from
Emerson Research. This compact portable system features a built in iPod®
docking station so you can play your iPod® through the speakers of this
system when you are in the mood to share your music with others, or
when you simply do not want to use earphones. In addition, when this
system is connected to an AC outlet with the included AC adapter it wii!
also recharge the battery of any ‘dockable' iPod®. We have even included
four separate inserts so that every ‘dockable’ iPod® currently available (as
of January 2006) will fit correctly in the docking area.
This system also includes an AM/FM Stereo Radio with digital station
frequency display for more precise tuning, and a digital alarm clock that
can wake you to the radio or an electronic buzzer.
Finally we have also included an auxiliary input jack so that you can also
connect non-dockable iPod® such as the first generation models, or the
iPod® Shuffle, or even other brands of IVIP3 players and portable CD players
to this system. The required connection cable is included of course.
We have taken great care to ensure this system was in perfect working
order when it left our factory. If you experience any problems with the set
up or operation of this system please do not return it to the retail store. Call
the Emerson customer service hotline, toll free, at 1-800-663-5954, Monday

moist areas.
Instruction Book wording is as follows:
IMPORTANT
Since digital circuitry may cause interference to other radio or television
tuners nearby, switch this unit off when not in use or move it away from the
affected radio/television tuner.
NOTE; This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the Radio Interference
Regulations of Industry Canada. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television operation
(which can be determined by turning the equipment off), the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking And Set Up
• Remove the main unit, the AC adapter, the accessory auxiliary device
connection cord, and the 4 iPod® adapters from the carton, and remove al!
packing material from the main unit. We recommend that you save the carton
and packing material in the event that the unit ever needs to be returned for
service. Using the original carton and packing material is the only way to protect
your unit from damage during shipment.
• Remove any descriptive labels or stickers from the top or front panels of the
unit but do not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom panels.
• Remove the "dummy iPod®" display card from the docking area and discard it.
Power Sources
This system is designed to operate on 6 "C" batteries, not included, or on normal
120V AC house current with the included AC adapter. In addition, this unit requires
2 "/kA" batteries for the clock and alarm memory back up. We recommend that
you use a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best
performance.
Attempting to operate this system from any other power source may cause damage
to the system, and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
Battery Precautions
Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.
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-rechargeabie 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 poiarily.
Dispose of batteries properly, Do not dispose of batteries in Are, The batteries
may explode or leak.
Battery Installation
The battery compartments for the 6 "C" batteries and 2 "PA" batteries are located
on the back panel. To open the battery compartment covers press the door locking
tabs in the direction of the arrows. Remove the doors and insert the 6 "C" and 2
“AA” batteries in their respective compartments. Be sure the batteries are installed
correctly according to the polarity markings in the battery compartments. If the
batteries are installed incorrectly the unit will not work.
After installing the batteries replace both battery compartment covers and make
sure that they lock securely.
Using The AC Adapter
Connect the small female plug of the AC adapter to the DC Input Jack on the back
panel. Connect the housing of the AC adapter to your 120V AC outlet.
When the adapter is connected to the unit the AC power source is selected
automatically, even if there are batteries in the battery compartment. Note; In
order to operate the unit on batteries the AC adapter must be completely
disconnected from the DC Input Jack on the back panel.
NOTES:
* The housing of the AC adapter may become warm during operation. This
is normai.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock never connect or disconnect the AC
adapter while your hands are wet.
Battery Replacement
When the sound output becomes weak and distorted during battery operation it is
probably time to change the 6 "C" batteries. Try operating the system with the AC
adapter. If the sound is normal with the AC adapter this confirms that the batteries
are weak and should be replaced as soon as possible. If exhausted batteries are
left in the unit they may eventually leak and cause damage to the unit. When
changing the 6 “C" batteries always change ail 6 at the same time and do not mix
different types of batteries such as alkaline, carbon-zinc, and nickel cadmium.
The 2 “AA" batteries are only used for maintaining the clock and timer memory
and therefore they will probably last longer than the 6 "C" batteries. Two fresh
alkaline “AA" batteries should provide back up power for the clock and timer fora
period of 12 months.
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.
