Placement Considerations,

The KID / Papa Dock Connection

Component Ventilation, 

continued

If the KID is placed in a closed cabinet, more than
eight inches (20 cm) of clearance may need to be
provided above and below the component, or
small fans may be needed to increase ventilation. 

To connect the KID to the Papa Dock:

1. Remove the connector plate from the bottom 

of the KID, using the T-10 Torx wrench 
provided in the Papa Dock accessory box. 

2. Place the KID and the Papa Dock side-by-

side, with the front panel facing toward you.

3. Lift the KID up and position it over the con-

nection well (6) in the Papa Dock.

4. Lower the KID gently but firmly onto the 

Papa Dock docking connector (7).  

The air space between the chassis and shelf must
be unobstructed.

The Papa Dock requires ventilation clearance:

— at least two inches (5 cm) above, below, and 

on each side.

THE KID / PAPA DOCK CONNECTION

To disconnect the KID from the Papa Dock:

1. Facing the front of the two components, insert 

your fingers in the plunger holes on the bottom 
panel of the Papa Dock.

2. Push up both plungers (8) simultaneously. The 

plungers elevate the KID, disconnecting it from 
the Papa Dock.

3. Lift the KID out of the connection well on the 

Papa Dock, and set the KID aside.
