PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE  
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from  
moving when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating  
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your  
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,  
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a  
rubber residue on the furniture.  
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase  
small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement  
centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before  
you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

TIPS FOR BEST RECEPTION  
1. Automatic tuning depends on the signal strength of the broadcasting station, so  
weak stations are sometimes skipped. Tune manually to find the weak stations.  
With stronger broadcast stations the tuner may stop before it reaches the  
station frequency or optimum reception. Tune manually for  
the best reception.  
2. The receiver has a built-in bar antenna. If AM reception is  
weak, slightly rotating or re-positioning the unit will usually  
improve the reception. Please also remove the iPod from the  
docking bay as this will definitely improve the AM reception.  
NOTE: For best AM reception, please completely unwrap the power adaptor  
cord and fully extend it keeping the adaptor as far from the radio as  
possible.
