First Use

1)Connect the proper Voltage Plug. All original Nomad Jukebox models (12V or 9V) use the 9V Voltage Plug. Nomad Jukebox 3 models use the 5V Voltage Plug. Align the Voltage Plug mark- ing with the PlayDock’s DC Output (gray dot), then insert the Plug until it snaps into place (see G). To remove a Voltage Plug, press the small catch on the opposite side of the Plug, then pull apart (see H).

2)Insert Adapter AC plug into AC outlet (see I).

3)Insert Adapter output plug into the PlayDock 12-14 VDC input on the right endcap, next to the POWER button (see J). PlayDock’s internal battery will now charge. We recommend you charge the PlayDock PD200 for 12 hours before using it without the AC adapter (portable operation).

Portable Operation (without Power Supply Adapter)

13)Make sure the POWER switch is “in”, then press the MUTE switch to activate portable operation. The light will glow green. The PD200 automatically turns off after about five minutes of inactivity to pre- serve the battery. In this case, press the Mute switch to reactivate.

14)Leave the POWER switch in its “out” position whenever the PlayDock is not needed and AC power is not available. This eliminates power draw on the battery.

15)Connecting the Power Supply Adapter without AC power available prevents proper portable operation. Disconnect the AC power adapter if Power Supply Adapter is not available.

After a 12-hour charge, the PlayDock PD200 will operate from its internal battery for about 10-12 hours of continuous play at moderate volume. When the battery charge is low, the sound distorts at higher volume levels.
