4. HEADPHONE OUTPUT: Connect a headset to this stereo output for private listening. The head  
phone volume will be controlled by the iPAL’s volume knob. Connecting a pair of headphones will  
mute the iPAL’s main speaker. This jack accepts a 1/8" stereo male mini plug. You may also record  
from the iPAL or use it as a high quality stereo tuner by using this output. Keep the rubber plug  
inserted when this output is not in use.  
Leaving the iPAL plugged in, even when not in use, ensures the batteries will be charged when you  
need them. If the iPAL is not plugged in, the batteries will self-discharge as a safety measure. There  
is no harm in continuously operating the iPAL with the power supply.  
Tivoli Audio will not pay for costs incurred due to correction of reception problems, elimination of externally  
generated noise/static, loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of your product, or damaged caused by  
this product.  
Note: It may take up to 4 charge/discharge cycles before the batteries are operating at full capacity  
when new or left unused for several weeks.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to  
state. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion of consequential damages,  
therefore, these restrictions may not apply to you.

5. BATTERY COMPARTMENT: Stores the Nickel-Metal-Hydride battery pack. Do not load any other  
type of batteries in the compartment. See “Replacing the battery pack.”  
Replacing the battery pack:  
When it comes time to replace the battery pack, lift the FM antenna up, remove the two  
screws that hold the battery cover in place with a small Philips-head screwdriver. Lift the  
battery cover off, disconnect the lead from the battery pack and replace the batteries, making sure to  
correctly connect the leads. Replace the battery cover by inserting the bottom lip first, then screwing the  
cover back on. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury, use an exact replacement MA-1  
battery pack, available through Tivoli Audio or its authorized dealers, and dispose of the spent battery  
pack according to your state/country’s regulations.  
If you purchased an extended warranty from your dealer and service is required after the manufacturer’s  
warranty has expired, you should contact your dealer to obtain service.  
About the battery pack:  
The iPAL uses a sealed pack of 6 high capacity Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells. Unlike Nickel  
Cadmium (NiCd) batteries, NiMH batteries have no memory effect, provide a longer operating time, and  
do not use toxic metals. The front panel green LED serves both as a power indicator and battery power  
and charge status indicator thanks to the PAL’s innovative Power Management System.

Fast Charge Mode: With the iPAL turned Off but plugged in, from full discharge, the batteries will be  
completely charged within approximately 3.5 hours. During this period, the green LED will blink with a  
long off/short on cycle. The LED will turn off when the batteries are fully charged. Once the iPAL has  
been fully charged using the Fast Charge Mode, do not unplug it and then immediately plug it back in  
again, as this will restart the Fast Charge Mode even though the batteries are fully charged. Doing  
this repeatedly will damage the batteries. See also “Before You Begin”.  
Handling the iPAL:  
SPECIFICATIONS  
Model:  
Type:  
Driver:  
The iPAL is weather resistant, but it is not weather proof. It should not be immersed in water or held  
under running water. It also should not be exposed to extreme temperatures.  
The iPAL is designed to be portable, but it is not indestructible. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impacts.  
Always grip the iPAL using the side indentations.  
The iPAL’s weather resistant cabinet is durable, but it is not impervious to scratches.  
The iPAL’s speaker is magnetically shielded, permitting use near a computer monitor or a television set.  
It is normal for the power supply to become warm during use.

Trickle Charge Mode: With the iPAL On and plugged in, the batteries will be completely charged in  
approximately 24 hours. During this period, the LED will remain On continuously.

Low Battery: With the iPAL turned On but not plugged in, as the batteries become discharged, the  
Power Management System will cause the green power indicator LED to blink with a short off/long  
on cycle, indicating the batteries are in need of being recharged. The blinking will grow faster as the  
batteries get closer to discharge until the iPAL shuts itself off to protect the batteries. The remaining  
playback time from the moment the blinking begins until the iPAL shuts off is estimated between 20  
minutes and several hours. It is difficult to be more precise due to many factors including how long  
and how loud the radio is played, and the remaining charge left in the batteries. For instance, the  
iPAL will likely play longer off of the batteries at a low volume than at higher volume levels. As you  
use your iPAL, you will develop a better idea of how much playback time you have before recharging  
is necessary.  
Cleaning:

Weight:  
To clean the iPAL, use water and a soft cloth and do not rub hard. Use a mild soap only when necessary.

1. AUXILIARY INPUT: This is one of the two primary sources of input for your iPODTM/MP3 or other  
portable audio player. This input routes the audio through the iPAL’s main speaker. Just connect  
the iPODTM/MP3 device’s audio output to this input. This jack accepts a 1/8" stereo male mini plug.  
Note that you may need to adjust the volume level differently for an auxiliary device than the level  
normally used for radio listening. Keep the rubber plug inserted when this input is not in use. The  
second input option is wireless, via any third party FM transmitter (not included) in conjunction with  
the iPAL’s FM tuner.  
Headphones:  
All specifications subject to change without notice.  
Avoid using headphones (not included) at high volume levels to prevent possible hearing damage.  
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle.  
Tivoli Audio reserves the right to make product changes without notice.

Warranty:  
Tivoli Audio manufactures its products to very high standards and we are confident our products will  
perform well. Accordingly, we warranty the Portable Audio Laboratory against manufacturing defects  
in material and workmanship to the original owner, for a period of one year from the original date of  
purchase.

2. FM ANTENNA: When listening to FM, adjust this telescoping antenna and position it for best reception.  
In strong FM signal locations, reducing the antenna’s length may provide better reception. When the  
unit is not in use or when listening to AM, keep the antenna retracted to protect it. This antenna has  
no affect on AM reception. For AM, rotate the iPAL itself to align the internal antenna for improved  
reception. Buildings made with concrete, steel, or aluminum siding will hinder reception. Household  
appliances, electric blankets,computers, CD players, and other electronic devices can also adversely  
affect reception or inject noise. If you experience this, move the product further away from the offending  
device, or plug it into an electrical outlet not shared by another device. Metal surfaces may hinder  
AM reception.  
If the iPAL is turned on to FM or AM and the power indicator is off, then the batteries require recharging.  
However, it is normal for the radio to play for a brief period if turned on after the LED has gone out.

If the iPAL is to be used away from an AC or other power source for an extended period of time, it is  
wise to top-offthe charge before use, especially if the LED is blinking. To do this, follow the procedure  
described under Fast Charge Mode.  
This warranty does not extend to damage caused by improper use/installation, faulty ancillary equipment,  
modifications, unauthorized repair, shipping damage or loss, abuse, accidents, use on improper volt-  
age/current, lightning or other acts of God, normal wear and tear, commercial use, scratches to exterior  
surface, or purchases from unauthorized dealers. Proof of purchase as evidence the unit was purchased  
from an authorized dealer within the warranty period may be required for warranty service. Should service  
be necessary, DO NOT return the product without first contacting your dealer or Tivoli Audio. This warranty  
is non-transferable.  
Note that the power indicator LED will blink with a different cycle during Fast Charge Mode while the  
batteries are charging. Because the iPAL’s NiMH batteries have no memory, it is not necessary to wait  
until the batteries are exhausted before recharging, although recharging from complete discharge will  
also do no harm.  
3. AC/DC INPUT: Use this input to operate the iPAL using its included iPAL-PS Tivoli Audio AC power  
supply or an optional 12VDC nominal, 500mA fused source. Should the power supply be damaged  
or misplaced, use only a like replacement. The connector is a 5.5mm/2.1mm center positive connector.  
Keep the rubber plug inserted when this input is not in use. When unplugging the power supply from  
the wall outlet, do not pull on the cord.  
With the exception of replacing the batteries, please resist the temptation to take apart your radio.  
There are no user serviceable parts, and any attempt at modifying or repairing your radio will void the  
warranty.
