heating in the room, if the room is damp, or if the speaker
is brought directly from a cold to a warm place. In this
case, leave the system turned off for a few hours until
moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord and then
plug it in again.
Alternatively, press the RESET button at the bottom of
the speaker to reset the unit and check to see if the unit
resumes operation.
How do I eliminate signal jamming?
Signals transmitted from devices such as a second iBall
nearby may jam with signals transmitted from the
transmitter dock to speaker. If signal jamming occurs,
follow the procedures outlined in the “RECOGNIZING
WIRELESS SIGNALS” section to set the RF mating
function between the speaker and transmitter dock.
The wireless speaker is powered on but why is it
not emitting any sound?
Check to ensure the power is on and increase the
volume. If there is still no sound, check to see if is lit
on the LCD. If it is, press the button on the speaker
control panel to unmute the speaker.
Data signal interference or static electricity may disrupt
the signal reception from the audio source. Power off
the speaker, wait a few seconds, and turn the unit back
on. Alternatively, press the RESET button at the bottom
of the speaker to reset the unit.
Why is the wireless speaker not responding when
the buttons are pressed?
Remove and reconnect the AC power plug or reinsert the
batteries and switch the speaker on again, checking that the
power is on. If there is still no response, the speaker’s control
panel membrane may be damaged. Take the unit to a
qualified Oregon Scientific dealer for servicing.
Alternatively, press the RESET button at the bottom of
the speaker to reset the unit.
Why are the rechargeable batteries not charging?
The correct AC adapter should be plugged into the
wireless speaker.
Ensure that a battery cap must be placed on top of the “_”
terminal of a battery. The battery with the cap must be
positioned into the specified battery slot of the battery
compartment with the other batteries installed as normal.
Do not use the battery cap if the speaker is powered by
alkaline batteries. Doing so may increase the risk of fire,
personal injury, or damage to the speaker.
When placing the batteries into the compartment, make
sure to correctly align the polarities.
My iPod is docked to the transmitter dock but why
is nothing happening?
The iPod may not be inserted properly into the transmitter
dock. Remove the iPod and reinsert, making sure to
correctly align its pin connectors with those of the
transmitter dock. Or, the docking tray inserted into the
NOTE Depending on the nature and strength of signal
jamming, the process may need to be repeated several
times before RF mating is successful.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy any
difficulties you may be experiencing while using the iBall.
Should any problem persist after you have checked these
symptoms, consult your nearest Oregon Scientific dealer.
Why does the wireless speaker not power on at all?
Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged into the power
outlet. On the rare occasion, the unit may not operate
due to data signal interference or static electricity. Turn
the power off and unplug the unit from the power outlet
briefly, and then plug it in again so it will reset itself and
turn the speaker on.
Why does the power keep turning off after turning
on?
The batteries may have run out of power or are not
correctly aligned with their polarity. For alkaline batteries,
re-install checking the polarity; if the unit still does not
operate, insert new alkaline batteries into the unit.
For rechargeable batteries, plug the AC adapter so the
speaker can operate on AC power and recharge the
depleted batteries.
How do I eliminate the severe hum, distortion or
noise that is coming from the wireless speaker?
The speaker may be positioned too closely to the audio
source, such as a TV or radio. Move the speaker at least
1 meter (approx. 3 feet) away from the source.
Check that the speaker’s position and connections are
clear of any strong magnetic fields or radio frequencies
such as Bluetooth, wireless LAN, microwaves or
fluorescent light, which may interfere with reception.
Similarly, make sure the speaker is not placed near any
2.4GHz DECT phones or mobile phones, whose
frequencies can interfere with wireless transmission
between the remote control device and speaker.
The plugs and jacks may be dirty, affecting the
connections and thus causing sound distortion. Wipe
clean. In some cases, volume might not be appropriately
adjusted. Adjusting the volume will help to clear any hum
or distortion.
There may be excess moisture condensed inside the
speaker or on the speaker grill that might affect the unit’s
ability to produce audio, especially after turning on
