Troubleshooting

Problem: The unit will not turn on or play music.

• Ensure the BATTERY MODE ON/OFF switch is OFF when using AC power and ON when using batteries.
• Check if the battery power is low and replace batteries if necessary.
• Verify the AC ADAPTER is plugged into a working outlet.

Problem: Unit powers on but the volume doesn't work.

• If battery power is extremely low, the volume may be non-functional. Replace batteries or use the AC ADAPTER.

Problem: Unit has fresh batteries, BATTERY MODE ON/OFF switch is ON, but the unit still will not turn on.

• Ensure the AC ADAPTER is disconnected from the DC IN JACK. If the AC ADAPTER is plugged into the unit, battery power is bypassed even if the BATTERY MODE ON/OFF switch is ON and the adapter is not plugged into a wall outlet.

Problem: Sound distortion at higher volumes.

• Low battery power can cause distortion. Replace batteries or use the AC ADAPTER.
• Some iPod EQ settings may cause distortion at high volume. For best results, set EQ to OFF on your iPod.

Problem: After playing a few minutes, the iPod screen goes dark.

• Refer to your iPod's manual to change settings and prevent it from reverting to Power Saver mode.
