Guide To Features (Rear Panel) 1. 12VDC/1A: Connect the included external power supply to this input, or use an optional 2A fused, 12VDC adaptor for operation in a boat or camper.

Do not plug the iSongBook into a wall outlet controlled by a switch. It is normal for the power supply to become warm during use.
6. FM ANTENNA: For FM, extend and rotate the telescoping antenna for best FM reception. In strong FM signal locations, reducing the antenna’s length usually provides better reception. Keep the antenna retracted in its locked position when not being used to avoid damage. For AM, rotate the iSongBook for best AM reception. iPod Dock (Left Side) This universal dock accepts all iPods with dock connectors. Seven different dock adapters are included, each individually numbered on the back.
Be sure the iPod is fully seated within the iSongBook’s docking well, as incomplete connection may result in intermittent sound/operation. The iPod’s controls will continue to operate while docked in the iSongBook. To remove the dock adapter, insert your fingernail in the horizontal slot and pull up until the cup releases.
Using a secondary speaker other than the one provided will void your warranty and possible damage the iSongBook. Conversely, do not use the secondary speaker with anything other than the iSongBook. *Do not splice the audio cable attached to the secondary speaker. If you require a longer cable, please consult your local electronics supplier for an extension.
