SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
5 - English
ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric products,
which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded
power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Double insulated products do not need to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the
product’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product should be connected to a power supply that
is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz.
Do not operate this product on direct current (DC) through
the power cord. A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss
of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a product at a considerable distance from a
power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When using this product outdoors, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

30-pin connector on the iPod is aligned with the 30-pin
connector in the cradle and that the iPod is pushed down
completely to ensure proper docking. The iPod should
begin to play automatically.

other group of items such as Album, Song, or Genre) on
the iPod you wish to listen to.
Rotate the adjustment knob at the back of the cradle
left or right as needed just until the face of the knob is
