Is there a manual on/off as remote doesn't appear to do anything, ipod not charging when connected to outlet

One of the limitations of the Pure- you can't have ANY kind of case on the iPhone. Even is tiny outer ring protector will prevent the iPhone from making contact, which will keep it from operating or charging. When you take the case off, it works great and the sound is "Pure." I contacted the company and they said the design was intentional to insure a good contact. This limitation should be clearly stated in their literature. HTH

There is no manual on or off. Mine is simply connected to the stereo receiver and I leave the Ipod inserted all the time. It keeps it charged and ready to go, everything works perfectly, the remote seems a bit reluctant to work at times, especially from any distance.

I'm not sure, but there might be a small piece of plastic over the battery in the remote that needs to be removed. It would help to keep the battery from discharging prior to use.

I use a remote control outlet, when I push a button on the remote it activates it. You can get a remote outlet on E-Bay

If you airplay to a unit in standby mode it will kick it on. If the unit is off it will not kick on, however. We hope that makes sense. If there is anything else we can do to help let us know!

I wanted to know this as well, and as I was going through the reviews one person said: "I purchased two of these, and the LCD display did not work on one. They do not charge an iPod touch (fourth-generation), so if you were planning to listen to your tunes for hours while driving down the road; you had better make a different plan. Hours later, your battery will be dead. On the other hand, the FM transmitter seems to work okay without the plug-in attachment. "

I think the remote is a sealed unit. Not sure. My remote is currently not working. I think the problem is with the plugin unit. It doesn't get warm to the touch like other plugin units I have had. Again not sure about my problem. I just realized you said charging , not changing. You should have a unit that plugs into a wall socket and then the remote plugs into the wall plugin unit. The red light on the remote comes on when the remote needs charging and goes out when the remote is fully charged. Hope that long answer helps. -Gene-

My IPOD's are the earlier ones I'm not sure what generation and the unit does charge them. If it don't charge yours I would just return it.Hope that helps

This is the same problem I had. In addition my remote would constantyly need re-charging. I replaced the battery and voila! the remote worked as it did when i first bought it - no more going blank and no ridiculously frequent charges.

MAke sure the volume on the recieving speaker is all the way up. Then control with the ipod. If that doesnt work. Tell your device to forget the bluetooth and re-pair.

You push open the dock which reveals a jack and short cable to plug the iPod/smartphone/etc in and sit it in the dock. Remote does play/pause/stop, skip, and that's it. No remote volume control. Also FYI the recording function doesn't work - common problem noted on several forums, very disappointing but otherwise am happy with the unit

No workaround sorry you need a new battery. The batteries on these radios only last a year if you use them regularly. It may appear to be charging when off but it only holds a small charge. Look at the dock if the light is blinking for an extremely long time time to replace it

Could be: any part of the power cord may have been dislodged, dead battery charge if you're trying to use it without the power cable, or perhaps (this happened to me a few times when I first got it) the ipod didn't respond to the speaker for some unknown reason. After tinkering with it for a few minutes I got it to work again and it hasn't happened since. Or also you may have gotten a lemon. Hope you get it figured out because it is a decent piece of hardware.

You have to use the remote. And it doesn't seem to hold the charge long as I thought it would.

To power the unit on just tap the option button, then to power the unit off pause it by pressing the pause/play button, while it's paused hold the option button until it powers off

Clean the contacts on the charging base and the contacts on the remote with a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol. THe battery should still be fine, it just isn't getting a charge.
