Tips + Troubleshooting

My iPod does not respond to iBoom HiFi when I plug it in.

1. Your iPod may not be docked properly. Remove your iPod from iBoom HiFi and
check for any obstruction to the connector in the dock and on your iPod. Then
re-dock your iPod.

2. iPod software may need to be updated. To upgrade software on your iPod, visit:

http://www.apple.com/iPod/download

3. Make sure your iPod is working properly before docking into iBoom HiFi. If your
iPod is frozen and will not respond, you may need to reset your iPod. To do this,
press and hold the Menu and Center Button on your iPod for 10-12 seconds, or
until your iPod resets. Please refer to your iPod manual for details.

My iPod did not charge while docked in the iBoom HiFi.

Your iPod may not be docked properly. Remove your iPod from iBoom HiFi and check for
any obstruction to the connector in the dock and on your iPod. Then re-dock your iPod.

My sound is distorted.

Remember that, because the volume output on your iPod cannot be controlled
when docked, you can only control volume using the iBoom HiFi VOLUME Buttons.

1. The volume may be set too high. Decrease the volume on iBoom HiFi.

2. The sound source may be distorted. If the iPod original sound source is of
poor quality, distortion and noise are easily noticed with high volume.

3. The EQ settings on your iPod may need to be adjusted for optimum sound
quality.

NOTE: When using an audio device via the iBoom HiFi’s Aux-In, the volume is

controled with both the audio device and the iBoom HiFi. Make sure to adjust
the volume level of your audio device untill there is no distortion. Then, con­trol the overall volume of your music with the iBoom HiFi controls.
