What to do

Remove your iPod/iPhone from the dock and check for obstructions on the connectors in the dock and on your iPod/iPhone. Then reseat it in the dock. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the outside of the dock, whether it is open or closed. Blow around the edges of the dock to remove any dirt or debris from the crevices. Increase the volume setting for the system. Make sure the SoundDock Portable is charged or the system is plugged in, your iPod/iPhone is turned on, and a music track is selected and playing. Remove your iPod/iPhone from the dock, wait five seconds, then firmly reseat it. You may need to do this a few times.

Unplug the SoundDock Portable system and remove the battery from the back of the system to completely shut off any power to it. Then reattach the battery and plug the system in again.
