to charge your iPod. You cannot overcharge your iPod.

Please make sure your iPod is working properly before docking into the

unit. Please refer to your iPod manual for details.

If the iPod original sound source (MP3) is old or 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

setting iPod EQ to flat.

play at high volume

This is normal

Turn unit off for awhile or lower volume

will charge (with or without batteries installed).
