Troubleshooting

iPod battery has problem
AM loop antenna is not connected to the
unit
AM loop antenna isn't located properly
Volume level is set too high
Sound source is distorted
Battery weak
Remote Control is not pointed toward to
the iH5
This is normal
Remove your iPod from the dock and check for obstruction
on the connectors in the dock and on your iPod. Then reseat
it in the dock.
Please make sure your iPod is working properly before
docking into the unit. Please refer to your iPod manual for
details.
Plug the AM loop antenna connector to the jack on the back
of the unit
Move the AM loop antenna away from the main unit and
rotate it for best reception
Decrease the volume
If the iPod original sound source (MP3) is of poor quality,
distortion and noise are easily noticed with high-power
speakers. Try a different audio source such as a music CD.
If you are using an external sound source like older generation
of iPod or iPod Shuffle, try reducing the output volume on
the device itself. Also try turning bass boost OFF.
Replace current battery with new battery
Point the Remote Control toward the iH5, move within 10
feet of the unit.
Turn unit off for awhile or lower volume
The signal from the line out jack needs amplification. Use
powered speakers/monitors or other amplified audio device.
