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).

Preparing the Jukebox

4) Identify the correct Glove for your Jukebox
(see illustrations on the first page).
5) Attach the Glove to the PlayDock as follows:
Locate the Stage and Bar on the PlayDock (see K).
Slip the Glove lip underneath the PlayDock’s Stage.
Press the Glove’s claws onto the PlayDock bar (see L).
6) Insert your Jukebox into the Glove by spreading apart
the sides of the Glove (see M).
7) Connect the Signal and Power as follows (see N on facing
page):Route both wires through the cable restraint. Insert the
DC Plug into the Jukebox’s DC IN jack. Insert the Signal
Miniplug into a Line Out jack on the Jukebox
8) Tuck the junction of the Power cable behind the cable restraint
(see O on facing page)

Normal Operation (Power Supply Adapter connected)

8) Make sure the POWER button is pressed “in” on the right side
endcap. The MUTE light will glow green.
9) With the Jukebox playing, adjust VOLUME ▼or VOLUME ▲.
10) Use the WIDE mode for enhanced sound.
11) Press MUTE to silence the speaker (the light glows red). Press
MUTE again to restore output.
12) We recommend you use the MUTE button to silence the speaker
whenever the AC power adapter is active.

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.

PlayDock Controls

Charging

Keep the Power Supply Adapter connected to the PlayDock PD200
whenever portable operation is not needed and AC power is available.
This will keep both the Jukebox battery and PD200 battery at optimum
charge level. The PlayDock PD200 sealed battery (lead-acid type)
cannot be overcharged.
The PD200 battery will charge anytime an active AC power adapter is
connected. The POWER switch must be pressed “in” to charge the
battery in a Jukebox connected to the PD200’s DC power output.
