Before You Begin
The Dock n Party Ultra uses a backup battery system to provide continuous
alarm and clock settings in the event of a power failure. Two "AA" batteries
(included) must be inserted into the battery compartment if memory
back-up is desired. When the Backup Battery is installed, in the event of a power
failure or the DC cord is accidentally disconnected, the LCD display will not be
illuminated, but the current time and alarm time settings will be temporarily
maintained.
Getting Started
1. Attach the DC adapter to the DC Jack located on the back of the unit.
2. Plug the cord into a 120V household outlet.

iPod/iPhone.
Note: Make sure you use the universal dock insert that corresponds with
your specific iPod/iPhone and that it is properly docked into the Dock n
Party Ultra. Failure to do so may damage your iPod/iPhone.
