The iH80 only charges your iPod while
connected to the AC adaptor (not on
batteries). AC adaptor isn’t plugged into a
wall outlet or the connector is not plugged
into the power supply jack on the back of
the unit
Plug the AC adaptor into a working wall outlet and plug the
connector into the supply jack on the iH82. Check
that all connections are secure. If there is a power switch
for the outlet make sure it is on.
