USER MANUAL
We are craftspeople. We are musicians. We are KitSound
™
And we all commit ourselves to achieving one shared goal:
Bringing people closer to their music. By truly understanding
music we stay true to its craft. Pure, rich, incredible sound.
We’ll settle for nothing less.
At KS we believe your music deserves to be showcased on great
quality products that don’t cost the earth. We might not all share
the same taste in music (the ferocious disputes on music forums
prove that), but whether it’s Irish folk, death metal or any number
of obscure genres which seem to be multiplying by the minute, the
artists responsible for connecting with you through their craft have
bared their souls to do so. And we think that’s worth celebrating.

Instructions for use
Getting started
• Insert the mains adaptor into the DC IN socket (10)
• Plug the mains adaptor into the nearest mains socket and switch it on
Installing the backup battery for clock and alarm settings
In order to oer consistent clock settings and alarm functions, the unit uses a backup battery system. This means that in the
event of a power failure, all the settings (clock, alarms and FM presets) of the unit will remain saved.
NOTE The XDock3 will NOT power on with battery power alone, the batteries are for settings backup only.
– Make sure the connection between the DC adapter and the unit is secure. This is important, because during battery
replacement it is possible for all settings to be lost if clock and alarm have already been set
– Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit and open
– Insert two AAA batteries, following the correct polarity (+/–) drawings inside the battery compartment. For longer battery
life, alkaline batteries are suggested. Please note that new and used batteries should not be mixed. Likewise, alkaline,
standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries should not be used together
