Extension Cord Warnings:

• Keep all electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed cords, which can cause electrical shock when Job Rocker is connected to wall power.

• If you must use an extension cord, use only grounded extension cords that are rated for outdoor use and equipment with a third-wire ground.

• Avoid using excessively long extension cords, which can cause voltage drops, causing the cord to overheat.

• When using long extension cords with Job Rocker, use a heavier cord with a larger wire size to reduce the voltage drop (the longer or thinner the cord, the greater the voltage drop). The AC outlets are a pass-through from the power cable receptacle. Job Rocker does not include surge absorption, an internal circuit breaker, or fuses for the outlets. North America: Do not use Job Rocker with an IEC input cable rated for less than 15A. EU: Do not use Job Rocker with an IEC input cable rated for less than 10A. DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids. Not for use in rain. Use only in dry locations. Rechargeable Batteries Rechargeable lead-acid batteries are the same type used in automobiles.

station. To "seek" (jump to the next available station), hold this down for a few seconds until it starts to seek a station. The unit will remember the last station you were on and start at that station when you power off and power on again.

5. Radio Preset Buttons: There are 6 storage locations for FM stations, and 6 storage locations for AM

stations. When you move the am/fm/off switch to AM or FM, that action changes the bank of presets you are on.

Press and hold a numeric Radio Preset button for a few seconds to assign the current station to that preset number. To use an added preset, tap a Radio Preset number once lightly to go to the stored radio station. Using the Aux Input Connect your iPod, iPod touch, iPhone, smartphone, MP3 player, or similar device to the Aux input. Adjust the output volume on your source device and then adjust the overall volume using the Volume knob on Job Rocker. Troubleshooting If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source or musical instrument. Also, try to reduce the overall volume of Job Rocker. If there is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs. If there is poor AM reception: When you have a Bluetooth device that is connected, disconnect your Bluetooth device in order to listen to AM radio. To adjust AM reception, move the entire unit. If the AC Outlet is not working: Make sure Job Rocker is connected to wall power. If Job Rocker is not charging: Make sure the fuse is not blown. If it is, replace the fuse with one of the same rating.
