Important
The line-level stereo mini jack on the SmartDock2 should not be used in conjunction with the
3D-pin output. These
two outputs should be regarded as "either-or". To use both at once invites
noise and hum on the audio.
3D-pin Niles connectors and 3D-pin
iPod connectors are not interchangeable. Forcing one into the
other may damage the connectors.

USING YOUR SMARTDOCK®2
WITH A NILES HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM: Connect the iWARE SmartDock2 to aNiles System
(an IM-iCard2-equipped IntelliControl@ ICS system or aNiles ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver) using the
30-pin Niles to 30-pin Niles cable provided with the SmartDock2.
Insert a30-pin equipped iPod into
the docking space
on top of the SmartDock2. Ablue LED should illuminate. This indicates that the
iPod is seated properly and the SmartDock2 is in Niles System mode. If the LED illuminates green,
indicating the iTunes mode, press the
LED to change it back to blue. Adjust the iPod support slide
on top of the SmartDock2 to support the back of the connected iPod. The connected Niles System
supplies the power to the SmartDock2 and the connected iPod.
If you need to locate the iPod more than 2meters away from the Niles System, use the iWARE ES2
Extender System (sold separately). With the ES2, you can extend the connection range up to 100
meters using apair
of CAT-S cables. Consult the ES2 manual for instructions.
WITH A
COMPUTER RUNNING iTUNES: Your SmartDock2 is equipped with amini USB jack to enable
connection to acomputer running iTunes.
Use the supplied USB cable with a type "B" mini connection
on one end and atype "A" standard on the other to connect the SmartDock2 to the computer. While
still connected to the Niles System, press the
LED on the SmartDock2 and it will change to green.
This indicates
that the dock and iPod are now in the iTunes sync mode. Perform your sync following
Apple's instructions. Once complete, press the
LED and it will change back to blue, ready to work with
your Niles System again.
WITH A
STANDARD STEREO SYSTEM OR POWERED SPEAKERS: If you do not own an IntelliControl®
ICS System or ZR6 MultiZone Receiver you may still use the SmartDock2. Use a3.Smm stereo mini
jack to stereo
RCA cable (not supplied) to connect the iPod to an unused line-level input on your
stereo system.
In addition, the output may also be connected to apair of powered speakers. To supply
charging power to the dock, use the supplied
USB cable connected to your computer.
