Charging your iPod/iPhone™

The Dock n Party comes with one dock insert, which fits the Apple 3rd Generation Nano.
When you want to connect a different-size iPod/iPhone, remove the insert from the Dock n Party and replace with the correct size insert. To remove dock insert, place fingernail in a slot on insert (Fig. 2) and gently pull up. You must always use the appropriate size insert for your iPod/iPhone. You may contact HoMedics Consumer Relations at 1.800.466.3342 to order the correct insert for your iPod/iPhone.

Note: Make sure you are using the correct insert for your iPod/iPhone and that it is properly placed in the dock of the Dock n Party unit.
Failure to do so may damage your iPod/iPhone.
WARNING : INSERT AND PIN CONNECTOR ARE DESIGNED FOR APPLE iPOD MUSIC PLAYERS ONLY. ATTEMPTING TO ATTACH OR FORCE ANY NON-iPOD MUSIC PLAYER INTO ENCLOSED INSERT OR ONTO THE PIN CONNECTOR WILL DAMAGE AND EVEN  DESTROY YOUR DEVICE.

   USING INSERT
   Place insert in dock, being sure that the two plastic tabs face the front of the unit. Press insert into place, ensuring it is firmly placed in the dock (Fig. 2). Carefully place your iPod/iPhone into the docking area so that the pin connector in the dock is fully connected to the pin socket on the bottom of your iPod/iPhone (Fig. 4). You will hear a “chirp”, indicating that your iPod is properly connected.

FOR IPHONE USERS ONLY:
Once properly connected, your iPhone will ask you if you’d like to turn on Airplane Mode. Select “Yes” (Fig.5). When your iPhone is set to Airplane mode, no cell phone, radio, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth signals are emitted from iPhone. As a result, all incoming calls will be sent directly to voicemail.
NOTE: If iPhone is already in Airplane Mode you will need to click “OK”.
