1. Loosen the Support Stand Screw and slide the Support Stand as far back as it can go.

2.Connect your iPod by carefully low- ering it onto the iPod dock connec- tor of the HomeDock Deluxe.

3. Slide the Support Stand toward the iPod until the iPod is gently resting against the Support Stand Pad. The back of the iPod should be parallel with the Support Stand and not leaning more forward or backward.

4.Tighten the Support Stand Screw to keep in in place.
