Putting Your iPod/iPhone in the UP-A1

Align your iPod or iPhone with the UP-A1’s dock connector and push it down so that it’s fully seated. If there’s a gap between the back of your iPod or iPhone and the adapter, turn the adapter counterclockwise to close the gap. Turning the adapter counterclockwise moves it forward. Turning it clockwise moves it backward.

Remove case (if fitted)

Notes:

Remove the case, if fitted, from your iPod or iPhone before inserting it into the UP-A1. Otherwise, a poor connection may result in no sound or remote control issues.

To prevent damage to the dock connector, don’t twist your iPod or iPhone when inserting or removing it, and be careful not to knock over the UP-A1 while your iPod or iPhone is inserted.

Don’t use the UP-A1 with any other iPod or iPhone accessories, such as FM transmitters and microphones, because they may cause a malfunction.

Troubleshooting

Make sure your iPod or iPhone is playing.

Make sure your iPod or iPhone is inserted properly in the UP-A1.

Make sure your AV receiver is turned on, the correct input source is selected, and the volume is turned up.

Make sure all plugs are pushed in all the way.

FM/AM radio is noisy

If there’s any noise when listening to FM/AM radio on your tuner or receiver, try moving the antenna cable away from the UP-A1 and iPod or iPhone. Also, keep the antenna cable away from other cables.
