Your iPod is not charged even though it is in the dock.
- Your iPod might not be properly docked. Take your iPod out of the dock, and remove any
obstructions on the connector from the dock and on your iPod. Place your iPod back into the dock.
- Your iPod is frozen or locked up. Check whether your iPod operates correctly before placing it
back into the dock. Please refer to the owner’s instruction manual of your iPod.

·
There is no sound on the external speakers when connected by the audio patch cable
(not included).
- The connected speakers lack a power source. Check if the external speakers are
powered properly.
- You are using passive speakers, which have no built-in amplifier. The signal from LINE IN/OUT
jacks needs to be amplified. Use the active speakers, which have a built-in amplifier.
·
It does not find any AM radio stations, or there is a lot of static on a radio station.
- The AM loop antenna is not connected to the i177. Connect the AM loop antenna to the jack on
the back of the i177.
- The i177 is installed where the reception is bad. Move the AM loop antenna around keeping it
away from the main unit for the best reception.
·
When playing music, the sound gets distorted.
- The volume level on the connected device or the i177 is set too high. Decrease the volume until
the distortion has disappeared.
- The source sound is distorted. If the original sound source (MP3) on your iPod is poor quality, the
distortion and noises are easily noticed with high-power speakers. Try a different audio source
like a music CD to test.
·
The remote control does not operate properly.
- The battery separation slip (prior to first time use) is still in place, remove it
- The installed battery is weak. Replace with a new battery.
- It is not aimed to the i177 or too far away from it. Move within 300 cm of the unit and point the
remote control toward the i177.
