DIAGRAM AND PARTS DESCRIPTION

1. Instrument / Microphone Input with Volume Control (1/4"): This mono input accepts a 1/4"

input such as a microphone, guitar, or other musical instrument.

2. Auxuliary input with iPod/Aux Volume Control (Stereo RCA): This knob controls the level of the iPod and the RCA input. This stereo RCA input can be used to connect a CD, MP3, or other audio source. To connect to a portable device with a 1/8" headphone jack, you need a 1/8" to RCA cable which is NOT included.

3. Master Volume Control: This knob controls the master volume of the TAILGATER.

4. Radio Selector: This switch sets the radio to AM or FM or turns the radio off. (Note: This switch does not turn the unit's power off – just the radio.)

5. LCD: Displays the current radio station.

6. Tuner: Use these buttons to search for a radio station. To "scan" (jump to the next available station), hold this down for a few seconds until it starts to seek a station.

7. Power LED: Indicates whether TAILGATER is on or off.

8. Power Cable Input (IEC): Insert the included power cable here to charge the unit. Note that the TAILGATER can run off the power adapter while it simultaneously charges the battery. The charge indicator illuminates when the battery is charging.

9. Voltage Selector*: This must be set to the proper voltage setting for your location. To change its setting, only remove *one* screw of the cover and slide it aside to expose the selector.

10. Power ON/OFF Switch: Turns TAILGATER on or off. Please note that while TAILGATER is connected to a power source, it does not need to be powered on to charge the battery.

11. Battery Level Indicator: While the unit is powered ON and unit is not plugged in, these four lights indicate the power left in the battery. Battery life varies based on volume and usage.

12. Dock Charge Switch: Turn on iPod charging by setting this switch to the "Dock Charge" position.

* WARNING: Selecting the improper voltage can damage the unit. Units purchased in the US, UK, and EU are already set to their proper voltages. You do not need to change the voltage unless you are traveling to another country or are in a country with varying voltage.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Use this troubleshooting guide if:

The sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source or music instrument. Also, try to

reduce the overall volume of TAILGATER. There is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs. There is a high-pitched whistling noise when using microphones: This is probably feedback. Point the microphones away from the speaker.
