Updating firmware on the Unit
For best performance, make sure to update the unit’s firmware. To do so, download the free

charge when the unit is turned off as long as the AC adaptor is plugged in. You can also turn the unit ON automatically
by docking a playing device (or connecting one to the USB port), and turn the unit OFF by disconnecting a playing device
from the dock OR USB port.
Setting the Clock Time Using AutoSync
The AutoSync feature automatically syncs the time setting on the unit to the time on your iPad, iPhone or recent model
iPod (iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod Classic; older iPod models such as iPod mini do not support this feature).
AUTOSYNC SETTING
By default, the unit is set to AUTO SYNC mode and will attempt to autosync the time whenever a capable iPad, iPhone
or iPod is docked OR connected to the USB port.
1. Dock your Lightning-capable iPad/iPhone/iPod in the Lightning Dock on top of the unit. In about 3 seconds, the unit will
sync to your device. You can also sync by connecting an iPad, iPhone or iPod to the USB port.
2. The unit will now autosync every time a capable iPhone, iPod or iPad is docked, and at 2AM each day.
To manually time sync at any time to a docked device, press and release the
Clock Button
.
NOTE:
iPhone time is automatically updated to the correct time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPad or iPod is
accurate only to the time on the computer the last time the iPad/iPod was synced to it. It’s possible to have up to 59 seconds
difference between the unit and a synced iPad/iPhone/iPod.
