the tablet, so all you need to do is connect the wires, switch on the tablet and press play. Follow the instructions below and if
you require any assistance contact Customer Support on [phone] or e-mail [e-mail].
NOTE: Some amplier and HiFi’s do not have a phono AUX IN, they instead rely on a 3.5mm jack external input or only have
an iPod® dock. We have adaptors and cables to solve all these issues. please contact Customer Support.
