The Time Sync feature allows you to sync the time setting on the unit to the time from your iPhone or recent model iPod (iPod touch,
iPod nano and iPod Classic; older iPod models such as iPod mini do not support this feature).
1. Gently dock your iPhone or iPod.
2. Press and release the Time Sync Button on the back of the unit. The display turns orange and “SYNC” flashes in the display,
indicating sync attempt. If sync is successful, the time will update and you will hear two beeps and the cabinet and display will
turn green briefly.
3. If sync does not work, a long beep will sound and “FAIL” will appear in red on the display. If this happens, try using a different
iPhone/iPod to attempt syncing again or set time manually (see below).
NOTE: The iPhone is constantly updated to current time via cell phone towers. The time on your iPod is only accurate to the
last time it was synced to a computer. It’s possible to have up to 59 seconds difference between the unit and synced
iPhone/iPod.
