Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Problem Solution
There is a crackling 
sound coming from 
the speaker (when 
connected to PC 
or laptop).
The operating system’s volume level 
is set too high.
Check the operating system volume level and 
decrease it if necessary.
Interference. Move the unit to another location or select a 
different RF channel.
The sound is distorted.
The M812’s volume level is set too 
high.
Lower the volume level of the M812 by using the 
supplied remote control or the VOLUME – key on 
the speaker.
The EQ function is enabled on the 
iPod and there is too much bass.
Disable the EQ function of the iPod or turn down 
the bass on the M812.
The WALL/TABLE switch on the 
bottom of the wireless speaker is in 
the wrong position.
Ensure the WALL/TABLE switch on the bottom of 
the M812 is set to the proper position.
Intermittent buzzing. The unit is located too close to a 
GSM cell phone.
Move the GSM cell phone away from the unit.
The wireless speaker 
stops playing or cuts out.
The M812 has gone into an over-
current, protection mode.
Reduce the volume level. The M812 will 
automatically reset itself after a short period of 
time. When the M812 resets it will come back in 
the standby mode. Upon powering the unit back 
up reduce the volume level to prevent it from 
going into protection mode.
It appears that the 
wireless speaker is 
not reproducing a 
stereo signal.
The MODE switch on the bottom of 
the unit is in the wrong position.
Set the MODE switch to the correct position; 
STEREO, when one speaker is used. LEFT 
or RIGHT when two speakers are used in the 
same room.
I have three speakers 
connected to one 
transmitter base that 
lost sync and now it 
will not automatically 
re-synchronize.
In a multi-speaker system if a single 
speaker loses synchronization that 
speaker unit will not be able to 
automatically regain synchronization.
To manually regain synchronization between the 
transmitter base and the speakers, hold down 
the STANDBY key on the transmitter base for six 
seconds. The speakers will then synchronize with 
the transmitter base.
My speaker is picking 
up music from a 
different source.
Your speaker has synchronized to 
another transmitter base that is within 
range of your speaker.
You can manually re-synchronize the speaker by 
holding down the POWER key on the speaker for 
six seconds. The speaker will then synchronize 
with the transmitter base.
NO SYNC shows on 
speaker display.
Synchronization between speaker 
and transmitter base has failed.
Disconnect the speaker power cord from the 
wall outlet, wait 30 seconds, reconnect to the 
outlet and power on the speaker. Press and hold 
the STANDBY key on the transmitter base for 
six seconds. If situation persists, you may need 
to manually set the RF channel. See Set RF 
Channels in Advanced Operations (page 8).
The LCD displays “iPod,” 
and the iPod is playing, 
but no sound is coming 
from the speaker.
The speaker and transmitter base 
have a poor connection.
Press and hold the STANDBY key on the 
transmitter base for six seconds. This will cause 
the speaker to re-synchronize with the transmitter 
base.
iPod does not function 
properly when docked to 
the transmitter base.
You may need to update the software 
on the iPod.
Go to the Apple Web site and follow the 
directions to upgrade your iPod to the latest 
software.
