•• When an iPod is inserted into this unit’s iPod dock, the top of the iPod is higher than the top of the unit. Leave 2U (10 cm) or more space open about the unit to prevent interference with devices installed above it.
•• This unit is compatible with iPod’s equipped with fourth generation or later Dock connectors.
•• iPod shuffles do not have dock connectors, so they cannot be used with the dock. They can, however, be connected using the AUX IN jack (see “Connecting external audio players” on page 18).
•• Always remove any case from an iPod before connecting it. Connecting with a case on might prevent complete connection and proper operation and playback.
•• Always use an adapter that is suitable for the iPod that you are using. The use of an unsuitable adapter could damage the connectors of both devices.
When an iPod is connected to this unit’s iPod dock, it will be recharged whenever this unit’s power is ON. When the iPod is completely charged, the unit stops charging. When the unit’s power is OFF, it does not charge connected iPods.
During charging, a battery icon appears on the iPod screen that shows the charging status. Please see the operation manual for the iPod that you are using for details.
