SETUP AND OPERATION

1. Install 8 "C" size alkaline batteries as indicated inside the battery compartment on the back of the TravelTunes, after pressing the tab at the top of the compartment cover to remove it (be sure the batteries are all securely in place before replacing the battery compartment cover), or connect the included AC adapter to the "DC 12v" input jack located behind the rubber strip on the lower right of the back panel, then plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet. Note that the AC adapter will charge a docked iPod, but the batteries will not. Make sure the TravelTunes power is off before "docking" an iPod or making any other connections.

2. The versatile metal handle can be used in the upright position to carry the TravelTunes around, but should be moved down into the lower position to act as a stand when using the TravelTunes. Be sure the handle has locked securely into the stand position before proceeding.
3. If you will be using an iPod that has a docking port on the bottom, first lift the rubber dock connector cover (Fig 1a) on the TravelTunes up and press it into place in the indented area above the dock connector cover (Fig.1b). Then snap the plastic docking adapter designed for your model of iPod (see chart on next page) in place over the TravelTunes dock connector. Then insert the iPod carefully into the adapter, making sure the connector goes into the docking port on your iPod. If the iPod does not seem to fit, please check to make sure you installed the correct adapter for your model. iPod models without a docking port (Shuffl e, etc.) as well as other MP3 players and audio devices may be used as well, by connecting their headphone or line out jacks to the "Aux" jack on the back of the TravelTunes, located behind the rubber strip (Fig 2). This connection can be made with a short male-to-male 1/8"(3.5mm) stereo cable (not included, but provided with many portable audio devices or available at electronics retailers).

4. Turn on the iPod or connected audio device (if it is not already on), then press the power button ( ) on the top of the TravelTunes. The LED power indicator will come on, and glow green. The LED will turn red to indicate a low battery condition.
5. Press Play on the iPod or connected device, and adjust the listening level with the volume rocker switch located next to the power button on top of the TravelTunes. Press and release or hold down the end of the volume control marked "+" to increase the volume level, and press the end marked "-" to decrease the volume level.Note that the volume control on the iPod itself is bypassed when docked in the TravelTunes. As with any speaker system, distortion may occur at very high volumes. If so, reduce the volume to a lower level. Refer to the "Troubleshooting" section of this manual if you experience other audio quality problems.
6. The included wireless remote control can be used instead of the controls on the TravelTunes to turn on the power, raise or lower volume and also play/pause and select the next or previous song on a docked iPod. The remote uses an infrared beam, and must be pointed towards the sensor behind the front grille of the TravelTunes to control it. Before using it, pull out the plastic protective battery cover sheet.
   

Model 940001G only
Before using the global version AC adapter, slide the plug adapter that matches the wall outlets in your country onto the AC transformer as shown. To remove the plug adapter, slide it off while pressing the release button as shown.

If the remote does not seem to work, please check the following:

• Move the remote closer to the TravelTunes and try again (max. range is about 18 ft.)
• Be sure you are not at too much of an angle relative to the front of the TravelTunes
• Make sure the iPod is securely mounted on the dock connector, and the iPod's display is on
• Open the remote battery compartment by sliding it straight out, and replace the battery with a new 3 volt lithium #CR0 battery.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Remote Control functions:
All recent models of iPod ("Video" and Nano) will respond normally to the included wireless remote control. However, some of the remote control buttons may not work with older models of the iPod. For example, the "Play/Pause" and "Next Track" & "Previous Track" buttons will not control the "3rd generation" iPod (sold in 2003). The "Power On/Off" button normally turns the iPod on and off, but may not work or may instead turn off the audio on older iPods. If you have an iPod that does not respond to the full range of functions on the included remote, make sure that you are using the newest software version available for your model. Software updates to your iPod can normally be done by selecting "Update iPod" from the "File" menu of iTunes on your computer. For a list of all iPod models to date, along with their current software version, go to: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688

If Your iPod Becomes "frozen" or Locked Up (Will Not function):
First, be sure the hold switch has not been set to "lock" on the iPod (a lock icon appears on its screen). Most "freezes" can be fixed with a simple reset procedure.
The steps vary with the model of iPod. For details, go to: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/ or http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
