-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.

-The connected speakers lack a power source. Check if the external speakers are powered properly.

·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 installed battery is weak. Replace with a new battery.
