connector
You can use another sound device, such as a portable DVD player shown
here, with your SoundDock Portable system. This requires using an audio
input cable (not provided with the system) that is appropriate for the device
and has a 3.5mm mini plug on one end.
1. Connect this other sound device to the system.
2. Set the device to full volume, then use the SoundDock Portable system
volume buttons to adjust the level.
3. Remove your iPod, if it is in the dock. Your added sound device will not
play when the iPod is connected.
4. With this sound device turned on, touch any button (except OFF) on the
SoundDock Portable system or remote control to reactivate the system.
Noticing the indicator lights
On the front of the SoundDock Portable system, a small light lets you know the state of the system.
The light appears:
• Off, when the battery is fully charged and the system is on or off, playing or inactive.
• Green, when you touch a button on the remote or on the SoundDock Portable system. This light flashes several times
when the volume reaches maximum or minimum.
• Yellow, solid when the system battery is charging.
• Red, blinking when the system battery needs charging. This requires plugging in the system.
The light also indicates the level of battery power when you press and hold down the Off button on the remote:
• Red – 20% or less full power • Yellow – from 20% to 70% full power • Green – above 70% full power
