After Removing Player
For neat appearance, slip the DC connector and miniplug
into the Standby sockets.
Portable Operation
With the battery installed, PlayDock MP3 serves as a
stand-alone music system. When the AC power adapter
is disconnected, PlayDock MP3 automatically enters
Standby mode (the Play/Mute light will go dark). Press the
Play/Mute button to start portable operation.
PlayDock MP3 will re-enter the battery-saving Standby
mode after ten to fifteen minutes without an audio pro-
gram. Press the Play/Mute button to resume playback in
portable operation.
The rechargeable battery will operate PlayDock MP3 for
over 8 hours at a moderate volume level with a full charge.
Continuous operation at maximum output level can reduce
playtime to under 4 hours, even with a full battery charge.
In portable operation, PlayDock MP3 will not charge any
connected MP3 player. Be sure your player device has
sufficient charge for portable operation.
PlayDock MP3 shuts down automatically when the
battery’s useful charge level is depleted. If auto shutdown
occurs, do not attempt multiple restarts. This could perma-
nently damage the battery. The depleted battery should be
recharged as soon as possible to maintain a long battery
service lifetime.

MUTE to resume operation.

Keep The Internal Battery Charged
The battery charges whenever the AC power adapter is
connected. It can not be over-charged. Unlike some bat-
tery types, the PlayDock MP3 sealed gel-cel battery has
no “memory” behavior. It will fully recharge from any state
of partial charge. You can safely use PlayDock in portable
operation from any state of partial battery charge.
Never store PlayDock MP3 with the battery uncharged.
Duration of Portable Operation
For fastest battery recharge, put the POWER switch in the
OUT position. Operating PlayDock reduces the recharge
rate. Even with the POWER switch is OUT, a depleted
PlayDock battery may take 18 hours to recharge.
