  If your iHome Docking Speakers unit isn't responding and has no power, first, ensure the AC adapter is properly plugged into both a functioning wall outlet and the power supply jack on the back of the unit. If the outlet isn't working, test it with another device and make sure any associated power switch is turned on. Also, if the battery is weak or dead, charge it by connecting the AC adapter to a working outlet until the battery indicator glows steadily.

  If the remote control for your iHome Docking Speakers isn't working, first replace the battery with a new one. Ensure that you are pointing the remote control towards the unit and are within 15 feet of it. Also, check that the remote switch is in the 'ON' position, not 'AUTO'.

  If your iPod or iPhone isn't responding to the iHome Docking Speakers unit, remove it from the dock. Check both the connectors in the dock and on your iPod/iPhone for any obstructions. Reseat the iPod/iPhone in the dock to ensure a proper connection. If the issue persists, upgrade the software on your iPod/iPhone via iTunes. If your iPod/iPhone is locked up, ensure it is working properly before docking it into the unit; consult your iPod/iPhone manual for assistance. Note that the unit cannot control 1st or 2nd generation iPods, iPod shuffles, or other devices; use the Line-in jack to play these devices.

  If your iPod or iPhone doesn't come on immediately when docked with your iHome Docking Speakers, it might be in deep sleep mode if it hasn't been used for a while; press the Menu button on your iPod/iPhone. Also, if the iPod/iPhone battery is run down or too weak, charge it for about 5 minutes.

  Frederick WarnerAug 19, 2025
  If the operation of your iHome Docking Speakers unit is erratic, it may require a reset. To do this, insert the end of a paperclip or similar object into the Reset port located next to the AC jack. Press it in for a few seconds. Keep in mind that doing so will restore the unit to its factory default settings, overwriting any current settings.
