OPERATION USING RNET KEYPADS

When the iPod is docked in the Power Dock as part of an RNET audio system, it can be controlled through an RNET keypad or touchscreen.

UNO-TS2 Touchscreen Control

An UNO-TS2 touchscreen with an RNET system provides the most complete control and feedback option for the iPod. The touchscreen allows navigation through the iPod’s menus to select music by playlist, genre, artist, album, and song. It also displays current selections.

When set up with the “iPod (iBridge)” source template (see the UNO-TS2 installation manual), the UNO-TS2 displays a main screen upon selecting the iPod source: Further music selections can be made from this screen.

Whenever the source name assigned to the iPod appears in the Current Playlist field, the iPod is in All Songs mode. From this screen you can select a specific playlist by pressing the hard + and keys to the right of the display, or select the next or previous song with the > or < key. You can also press the Shuffle soft key to toggle through the iPod’s three shuffle mode options. Pressing the Music soft key calls up the music request screen to choose music from one of five categories.

UNO-S2 Keypad Control

The UNO-S2 keypad provides convenient control of the iPod through an RNET system. After selecting the iPod source, press the + and keys to select playlists and use the >and < keys to select songs. Pressing the Play key accesses NOW PLAYING, where the >and < keys cycle through artist, album, and song title. Pressing Play again accesses SHUFFLE MODE, to select random play of songs or albums or no random play (off).
