Glossary 

AC Power Adapter:   An alternating current (AC) power adapter is a transformer that is 
used to provide electrical power to the System. 

Docking Tray:   The docking tray is the half-moon shaped component that is attached to the 
front of the System at the bottom.  The docking tray is where you attach your iPod or iPhone 
to the System. 

Docking Tray Connector:  The docking tray connector is an interface connector in the 
middle of the docking tray that you attach your iPod or iPhone to in order to use your iPod or 
iPhone with the System. 

Remote Commander:   The remote commander is a portable (3 ½ inch by 1 ½ inch), 
remote control device that comes with the System.  The remote control device can be used to 
power on the System, play music, select a track to play from your iPod or iPhone, pause/un-
pause your music, adjust the volume, and power off the System. 

Remote Sensor:   The remote sensor is a small, round shaped component on the front of the 
System that uses infrared in order to detect signals from the remote commander.  The remote 
sensor interprets the signals it receives from the remote commander, enabling a user to 
remotely operate the System. 

Universal Dock Adapter:   A universal dock adapter is a 2 ½ inch by 1 inch plastic, molded 
snap-in that fits into the docking tray on the front of the System.  The snap-in inserts into the 
docking tray to enable you to use various models of iPods or iPhones with the System.   

USB to AC Adapter:   Universal serial bus (USB) to alternating current (AC) Adapter 
converts the signal from a USB interface to alternating current.
