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). By default, the unit will attempt to
Auto Sync whenever an iPhone or iPod is docked. You can turn off auto sync if you prefer to manually sync the time at any time
using the steps below.
1. Press and hold the Time Sync/Set Button on top of the unit until “SET Auto” flashes. Press the << or >> Button to select
“Set manual”. Auto Sync is disabled, and syncing must now be done manually. (To reset for Auto Sync, select “SET Auto”).
2. Gently dock your iPhone or iPod.
3. Press and release the Time Sync/Set Button. “SYNC” flashes in the display, indicating sync attempt. If sync is successful, the
time will update and you will hear two beeps and the display will show “SYNCED”.
4. If sync does not work, a long beep will sound and “FAIL” will appear 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.
