Using the Smartphone Jukebox
When you launch the Smartphone Jukebox application on
your BlackBerry, iPhone, or iPod touch make sure your iPod is
docked in the Smartphone Jukebox Receiver. If the App hasn’t
alreadylaunched,ndtheSmartphoneJukeboxicononyour
smartphone (on a BlackBerry, it might be in the Downloads
folder).
The AR Zentral Smartphone Jukebox App might take a few seconds to gather
the information from your iPod when you launch it. This is normal.
The App gathers and displays information from your iPod—your playlists and
song information.
Operating Your Docked iPod
For BlackBerry users
The Pbutton toggles play/pause; Ris for reverse, and Fis for forward.
For iPhone / iPod touch users
Use the controls on the application screen in much the same way you would for
music on your iPhone or iPod touch.
