User manual CAMBRIDGE SOUNDWORKS PLAYDOCK PD200 V2

Battery Service Life Recharge the PlayDock overnight whenever possible, even when the PlayDock has been used in portable operation only for a few hours. If storage is necessary, ensure the PlayDock battery is fully-charged, with the POWER switch in the "out" position. Recharge the battery at six month intervals. The PD200 automatically shuts down to protect a low-charge battery. If the PD200 does not activate in portable operation, do not attempt to defeat this protection feature by repeated activation cycles. Recharge the PlayDock PD200 battery as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours. Attempting to operate the PD200 after low-battery shutdown may permanently reduce the service life of the battery.

The PlayDock PD200 is designed for use specifically with Creative's NOMAD Jukebox players and we provide two flexible holders (called "Gloves") for these products. The Signal miniplug of the PlayDock PD200 can also be connected to the headphone minijack of a typical portable audio device.

All original Nomad Jukebox models (12V or 9V) use the 9V Voltage Plug. Nomad Jukebox 3 models use the 5V Voltage Plug. Align the Voltage Plug marking with the PlayDock's DC Output (gray dot), then insert the Plug until it snaps into place (see G). To remove a Voltage Plug, press the small catch on the opposite side of the Plug, then pull apart (see H). Insert Adapter AC plug into AC outlet (see I). Insert Adapter output plug into the PlayDock 12-14 VDC input on the right endcap, next to the POWER button (see J). PlayDock's internal battery will now charge. We recommend you charge the PlayDock PD200 for 12 hours before using it without the AC adapter (portable operation).

Press MUTE again to restore output. 12) We recommend you use the MUTE button to silence the speaker whenever the AC power adapter is active. 8) Portable Operation (without Power Supply Adapter) 13) Make sure the POWER switch is "in", then press the MUTE switch to activate portable operation. The light will glow green. The PD200 automatically turns off after about five minutes of inactivity to preserve the battery. In this case, press the Mute switch to reactivate. 14) Leave the POWER switch in its "out" position whenever the PlayDock is not needed and AC power is not available. This eliminates power draw on the battery. 15) Connecting the Power Supply Adapter without AC power available prevents proper portable operation. Disconnect the AC power adapter if Power Supply Adapter is not available. After a 12-hour charge, the PlayDock PD200 will operate from its internal battery for about 10-12 hours of continuous play at moderate volume. When the battery charge is low, the sound distorts at higher volume levels.
