PREPARATION FOR USE

Unpacking And Set Up

•This carton contains the main unit and 5 different iPod adapters so that you can securely connect any dockable iPod to the top mounted docking station. Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing materials from the components. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials if possible in the event that your unit ever needs to be returned for service. Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to protect your unit from damage in shipment.

•Remove any descriptive labels or stickers on the front or top of the cabinet. Do not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet.

•Note the serial number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in the space provided on the Warranty page of this manual.

•Place your radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dirt, dust, moisture, humidity, or vibration.

•Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna is built in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the best FM reception.

Protect Your Furniture

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
