ing a retractable 30-pin connector or USB plug. These connections allow you
to charge your iPod's internal battery as you listen to music. Charging occurs
whether the stereo's power is on or off. For the iPod and the iPod mini, a
charge + play+remote control module is also available that allows you to access
select iPod functions through the stereo's remote.
ZipConnect's unique spooled cable allows users to pick up and use their iPod
— viewing its screen and clicking its wheel — while keeping it connected to
the sound system. These ZipConnect charge + play modules for iPod, iPod mini
and iPod Shuffle and charge + play+remote control modules for iPod and iPod
mini are available from The Sharper Image by calling 1-800-344-4444, ordering
online at www.sharperimage.com or visiting a Sharper Image store near you.
