15. This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
with 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
reception, which can be determined by turning the product on and off, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

17. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or

cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static changes. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product to lightning and power-line surges.

19. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from

iYiYi Instructions

Congratulations on your purchase of Tivoli Audio’s iYiYi sound system; a sound system with an
FM/AM radio and built-in universal dock for iPod®. We believe the iYiYi sound system to be one of
the finest sounding “Made for iPod” stereo systems on the market today.

In order to take full advantage of what your new iYiYi sound system is capable of, please take a
moment to read this owner’s manual and the Safety Instructions. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio.

Please save the carton and original packing should you ever need to ship your system, as
shipping damage is not covered by the factory warranty.

On behalf of all of us, thank you for choosing Tivoli Audio and enjoy your new iYiYi sound system!

Packed with your iYiYi you should find:

• 1 Remote Control (battery installed)

• 1 External FM Wire Antenna

• 7 Universal Dock Adapters

• 1 Power Cord

• 1 Warranty Registration Card (USA only)

Please contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio if any of these items are missing.

Getting Started:

1. Correctly insert the power cord into the rear power input and plug the cord into a wall outlet.

2. Press the Power button briefly to turn the system on, insert the appropriate dock adapter

followed by your iPod and play a song, or tune to an FM radio station by rotating the tuning
knob, and adjust the volume level to your liking.

Note 1: Low (bass) frequencies place a heavy strain on speakers and amplifiers. The iYiYi is
engineered to reproduce the maximum amount of low frequencies for its size and power.
Therefore, we recommend setting your iPod’s EQ to “OFF” for best overall performance.

Note 2: The volume control for the iPod only controls a headset connected to the iPod. It does
not affect the volume of the iPod playing through the iYiYi.
