PREPARATION FOR USE

Unpacking and Set-up

•The display carton contains the main unit, five (5) different iPod® adapters, and one

(1) iPod® dust cover.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 protect your unit from damage in transit.

•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.

•Open the CD door. Remove the dummy CD transit protection card from the CD mechanism.

•Remove the “paper dummy iPod®” from the docking area.

•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.

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.

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 nonpolarized 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.

Installing The Back Up Batteries

This system includes a battery back up circuit that will maintain the clock and alarm time settings 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 and the alarm settings each time the system is unplugged, or whenever you have an unexpected power interruption in your home.

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-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.

5

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.

Open the battery compartment by pushing the battery cover locking tab in the direction of the arrow and lifting the battery compartment cover downward.

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.

CAUTION

DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
