Indicator should be on.

• If listening to iPod / iPhone / iPad, please ensure the LINE IN jack does NOT
have a plug in it, please ensure that the FM RADIO indicator is off (press

• Remove your iPod / iPhone / iPad from the dock and check for obstruction
on the connector in the dock and on your iPod / iPhone / iPad.
• Make sure that your iPod / iPhone / iPad is working properly before docking
into the unit. Please refer to your iPod / iPhone / iPad manual for detail.
• We highly recommend you use Dock-Mate to tune the unit to your favorite
station, then follow the steps on Page 5 (under "Listening To The Radio) to
store this station as one of your unit's internal presets. Repeat this process
for all your favorite stations. For more FAQs and tips on using Dock-Mate,
please visit www.RCAav.com/dockmate.
• If you've set an alarm in the unit using the Dock-Mate App, and have
subsequently lost power to the unit (and thus the unit's internal clock is
incorrect), the FM radio indicator will flash to alert you – don't worry, the
alarm won't go off in this state.
• You can re-sync/correct the unit's clock simply by docking your iPod /
iPhone / iPad and opening Dock-Mate (ensure you have "Time Auto Sync"
setting turned to "ON").
• If you don't have your iPod / iPhone / iPad available, you can also permanently
disable the alarm (and thus stop the FM radio indicator flashing) by pressing
and holding the VOL- button and the SOURCE button for at least 5 seconds
while in FM Radio mode.
