Troubleshooting Issue Cannot insert the ipod/iphone. ipod/iphone not functioning correctly. No power. Radio reception is poor. Solution Confirm that you are using the correct dock adapter for your ipod/iphone. Remove dust, lint or particles from the 30-pin connector and the ipod/iphone s jack, and insert the ipod/iphone again. Remove the ipod/iphone from the dock, wait a few seconds, and insert it again. Your ipod/iphone software may not be up to date. Connect your ipod/iphone to your computer and open itunes. Check for and download any updates as required. Check the connection to the AC power supply. Check and make sure the AC source is not an outlet powered by a wall switch. If it is, ensure the switch is turned on. Tune in to the station properly. Rotate the FM or AM antenna for better reception. 19
Troubleshooting Issue Preset number does not change on the display when Preset button is pressed. Solution When two or more presets are saved to the same station, the lowest preset number will appear on the display. Refer to page 15 to save a new station to a preset number. I hear no sound, or distorted sound, when using an audio player with the AUX IN input. The unit did not remember the correct time after power was disconnected and reconnected. You must adjust the volume of the external source or you may hear no sound from the unit's speakers. Turning the volume of the external audio source up too high may cause the sound from your stereo to be distorted. Reduce the volume of the external source until the distortion stops and then adjust the volume level of the main unit to a comfortable listening level. The back-up battery needs to be replaced. See page 10 for replacing the back-up battery. 20
