at his former company, Cambridge SoundWorks, Tom was responsible for the development of many
of the best selling home entertainment and multi-media products on the market. He also held senior

Packed with The Connector you should find one of each:

• Switching external power supply with exchangeable country plug adapter

• Remote control (battery installed)

• 9 Universal dock adapters

• 1.1m/3'8" Stereo 3.5mm Audio cable

• Warranty registration card

Getting Started:

Before you begin, be sure your Tivoli Audio radio and The Connector are both turned off.

1. Connect one end of the included audio cable to the “Auxiliary” input on your Tivoli Audio radio,
and the other end to the “Audio Out” on the back of The Connector.

2. To watch videos from your iPod on a television, connect a composite or S-Video cable (not
included) from the “Video Out” or “S-Video” output on the back of The Connector to the
composite video or S-Video input on your television set. Set your television’s source switch to
the proper input so you can view the video. Be sure your iPod video settings are enabled in
order to get a video signal.

3. Insert the adapter plug into the included external power supply. Connect the external power
supply’s cable to the DC input on the back of The Connector and plug the other end into a
wall outlet.

4. Depending on your iPod model (see chart below); insert the correct dock adapter into the well
of The Connector. Each dock adapter has its own number on the bottom. Failure to use the
correct dock adapter (or no adapter at all) could result in intermittent contact or damage to
The Connector and/or your iPod. Once the dock adapter is firmly locked in place you may dock
your iPod. The Tivoli Audio logo will flash while The Connector communicates with your iPod.

5. Rotate The Connector’s back support wheel counter clockwise until the rubber pad makes solid
contact with the back of your iPod.

6. Turn up the volume on your Tivoli Audio radio to the desired level and use The Connector’s
remote control to play music from your iPod.
