Step 1.

 

Carefully unpack the unit and read this instruction sheet completely. We 

recommend that you save the carton and packing materials to store the unit in 
case you ever need to return it for service.

Step 2.

 To connect your iPod, choose the appropriate dock adapter provided (if 

needed) for your iPod.  Insert the dock adapter  by slipping it over the connection

SOUNDMASTER Shadow. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet. Press the the 
power button on the top of the unit.  A red LED will light up to indicate your

the supplied stereo-jack cable. NOTE: The AUX port does not charge your audio 
device or iPod.

 Also located on the rear of the SOUNDMASTER Shadow is a USB port. USB

to your computer and keep your iPod charging while still downloading music from 
your computer. To use, connect the included USB cable (this is the cable with two 
flat, rectangular plugs at each end) into the port on the back of the SOUNDMASTER 
Shadow and the other end into the USB port on your computer. Once connected
