If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem: refer to the Panasonic / Technics Accessory Limited Warranty on page 29. Take the unit when you visit your dealer. Problem I cant hear any sound. The sound is barely audible. I hear a lot of noise. The sound keeps breaking up. The unit doesnt work. Possible cause and suggested remedy Something is wrong with the wireless communication. Is power being supplied to the unit and device connected to it? (Is the units lamp blinking in blue?) Have you temporarily suspended play using the receiver or iPod?

Has the transmitter been inserted all the way into the docking connector of the iPod?

Is the transmitters connector dirty?

Has the input plug of the stereo earphones been inserted all the way (into the AUDIO OUT connector)?

Is the plug dirty?

Noise may be heard due to the effect of the cellphone. Depending on the specifications and settings of your cellphone, the sound may break up or data communication may not be possible when you operate your cellphone. Is a Bluetooth-enabled device other than this unit being used? Do not use the two devices at the same time. Has the battery in the receiver or the device connected discharged? If it is, recharge it.

The battery will become somewhat hot: this is normal and not indicative of trouble. Possible cause and suggested remedy I cant connect a device even though I have already registered it.

<iPod>

Re-register the transmitter and receiver pairing.

1, Connect the transmitter to the iPod.

2, Press and hold the transmitter button for 2 seconds.

3, Press and hold the MIC button on the receiver for 2 seconds.

4, Press and hold the [-] button on the receiver for 6 seconds. The transmitters lamp (red) starts blinking rapidly. The receivers power is now turned on, and the lamp (red) blinks slowly.

5, Press the transmitter button twice quickly. When the pair setting has been re-registered, the transmitter lamp (blue) and receiver lamp (blue) will blink slowly. If failed, power off both devices and try again.

<Cellphone>

Re-register the cellphone and receiver pairing. Refer to Registering the device pair on page 18. Charging is not terminated even though the time for a complete charging has elapsed. Charging stops immediately. 3 9 9 8 T Q R 26 This process may take approximately 3 hours or so depending on the level of the batterys remaining charge. To prevent overcharging, repeated charging is not possible. Before charging again after fully charging, use the unit for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

(If charging is restarted immediately after fully charging, charging will automatically stop after about 1 minute.) Problem I can use the unit only for a short time even after charging. Possible cause and suggested remedy The unit may be usable just for a short time when its battery is first charged or when it is charged after the unit has not been used for a prolonged period. The batterys charging capability will be restored after a few charges. The battery will discharge if the power switch is kept at the on setting. If the play time available is extremely short even after the battery has been charged, it means that the rechargeable battery has reached the end of its service life (after about 300 charges).
