Other iPod models with dock connectors

Your iPod may have been supplied, packed with a standard
dock adaptor. If so, this can be used as the docking bay on
your unit is compatible with adaptors supplied by Apple.

If you don’t have a dock adaptor

If your iPod was not supplied with a standard dock adaptor,
you can buy one from Apple on-line. To determine the exact
model of your iPod, refer to this web-link - http://support.

it gently into the iPod Docking Bay before attempting to dock
your iPod.

Before docking your iPod, you must first fit the correct iPod
adaptor to the docking bay. Each iPod adaptor matches the
shape of a particular iPod and is necessary to ensure that
your iPod is securely held when docked.

Your iPod docking system is supplied with a selection of
docking adaptors that are compatible with several models in
the iPod range. Refer to the table of iPod models in the next
column which lists the supplied adaptors, and instructions
for obtaining an adaptor for unlisted models.
NOTE: Do not dock an iPod without fitting the correct adaptor,
you may damage the iPod and your unit.
