adaptors. Refer to the Dock adapter compatibility chart
shown later in this user manual to select the correct dock
adaptor for the iPad/iPhone/iPod.

Docking your iPad/iPhone/iPod
Gently dock your iPad/iPhone/iPod to the 30 pin connector on the front of the unit. Do not

with some reduced functionality with the unit even without the app installed.

‘Authentication Process’ before the docked device can accept any commands. THIS IS
NORMAL AND IS NOT AN INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM WITH YOUR SYSTEM.
