iTRIP TROUBLESHOOTINGThe iTrip won’t wake up from sleep.The iTrip automatically wakes from sleep when music is played into it. The first thing to check is that you're playing sufficiently loud music into your iTrip. When the iTrip begins to wake from sleep, it can take several seconds, depending on its set frequency. The higher the frequency, the longer the iTrip takes. So if you have iTrip tuned to 107.9 it may take a while. But be patient - it will come on.If your iTrip is still not responding, disconnect then reconnect the iTrip. Push down firmly to make sure it’s solidly connected to the iPod. Playing music through the iTrip should now wake it from sleep.How do I get the best sound quality when using the iTrip?The iTrip works best when tuned to the clearest frequency possible. For the best performance, make sure the frequency you choose doesn’t have a strong radio station close to it. Also, there is definitely a 'sweet spot' volume setting on the iPod that achieves the best sound quality through the iTrip. That spot will vary depending on the audio being played. Begin by setting the volume at 50%, then slowly increasing until you get the best balance of signal clarity without sound distortion.
