INSTRUCTIONS - TROUBLESHOOTING - COMPATIBILITY - RETURNS
The LAYEN i-DOCK will turn your docking station, stereo or speakers Bluetooth allowing you to stream music wirelessly from your Bluetooth enabled device, e.g. Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop. Here is all the information you need to get set up. Scroll down for Instructions, Troubleshooting, Compatibility and Returns.
Instructions
- Turn the docking station on and connect the i-DOCK securely onto the 30pin connector.
- The i-DOCK will make a sound and the blue light will flash on and off.
- Enable Bluetooth on your device so it can pair to the i-DOCK.
- IMPORTANT: Hold down the button on the side of the i-DOCK while your device searches for it. i-DOCK will then appear on your device, select it to pair.
- Keep the i-DOCK and your Bluetooth device within 1m whilst pairing. Once paired you can use them up to 10m apart.
- If prompted for a password please enter '0000'.
- If prompted by your device to manually connect, select yes.
- Successful pairing will be indicated by a sound and the blue LED light will stay constant blue.
- Pairing time is quick, but please allow up to 1 minute. Again this might vary according to which device is being used.
- You are now ready to stream your music wirelessly. Please make sure that the volume is up on both your device and the docking station.
Troubleshooting Tips:
Disconnected. If you go beyond the 10m radius the i-DOCK will automatically reconnect when your device is back in range. The i-DOCK will remember your device so you will only need to connect once (but you will need to leave your Bluetooth on).
No Power. If the receiver doesn't power up / the lights don't flash, please make sure your dock is connected at the mains and not running from a battery. Test that power is getting through to the i-DOCK by connecting it to a 30pin iPhone / iPod charge cable. If the lights come on, but still won’t power up on your dock it is likely to be incompatible and you will need to return it to us (please scroll down to find out how)
Can’t Pair. If you are having trouble pairing please make sure you have held down the pairing button on the side long enough for the i-DOCK to appear under Bluetooth devices on your phone (or other device) then select to pair. Please make sure the i-DOCK and your device are no more than 1m apart during pairing.
If you are still having problems pairing, please do a Bluetooth reset. Forget all Bluetooth devices; turn Bluetooth off and then on again. Turn the dock and phone (or other device) off and then back on again. Now re-start the process. If you have any other Bluetooth devices that have been or are trying to connect to the i-DOCK please turn off Bluetooth on these devices and delete them from your pairing list (“forget device”) as they could be causing initial confusion.
Pairing to Another Device. You shouldn’t get any issues pairing from one device to another as the i-DOCK can remember up to 8 devices at once. However, if you do experience this please do a simple reset. Forget the i-DOCK from all devices. Turn the Bluetooth function off and then turn the devices off and on again. Now restart the pairing process on one device.
No Sound. If you can pair and play music, but there is no sound coming through your dock or stereo, then it may be incompatible. Please check our compatibility lists below. If your dock is listed as compatible, or you cannot see it listed, the first thing to do is to check that the volume on your device and dock are both turned up; the dock is plugged into the mains; try turning the volume on the phone down and up on the dock and vice versa. If you still can’t get sound it is incompatible and you need an AUX receiver instead (your dock will need a 3.5mm AUX connection/headphone jack for this to work). Scroll down for returns procedure and recommended alternatives.
Sound Quality Issues. If you are experiencing hissing, crackling, interference or any other sound issues please; check that the power supply socket in the docking station/sound dock has not come loose and causing an incomplete connection; take off the back-plate and reseat it; check the receiver is connected securely. If you are still experiencing problems please contact us.
Can't Turn Bose Dock Off. If you have a Bose dock that you can't turn off via the remote whilst the i-DOCK is connected, you will simply need to remove the i-DOCK. The i-DOCK works exactly as an iPhone or iPod would. You would need to do the same with these devices, because there is a constant power supply running through, so when a device is connected the dock remains in a standby mode and will stay in that mode until it has been removed. The other alternative is of course to turn it off at the mains.
Please Note: all LAYEN 30pin receivers accept analogue signal. In general, most docks accept Analogue and Digital, but some (the minority) will only accept Digital. If this is the case, the receiver will power up but no audio will be received. (It will not play). In such cases, we advise our AUX receivers.
