Troubleshooting
Possible Problem
Decrease the volume
If the iPad/iPhone/iPod original sound source (MP3) is old or of poor
quality, distortion and noise are easily noticed with high-power speakers.
Try a different file from a trusted source such as iTunes.
If you are using an external sound source try reducing the output volume
on the device itself. Also try turning bass boost OFF.
Lower EQ settings.
Turn unit off for awhile or lower volume
Press and hold Snooze button then press + or - Button to adjust

Check that your USB cable is the correct kind for your device and that it
is correctly connected to the unit and to your device. Try switching the
US`B Mode Switch from the A or B position to its opposite. If this fails,
use the charger that came with your device.
