Music Link First-Use Information
After installing the Music Link kit, switch the audio unit
to AUX (auxiliary) mode and verify the audio unit
displays CDC EJECT or CD4 EJECT. Connect the
iPod to the Music Link connector. Make sure the check
mark is displayed on the iPod display screen and that
you hear music.
• The Music Link disc supplied in the kit contains the
TTS software and the User’s Guide. It is for home
computer use only.
• The client needs to load the TTS software/User’s
Guide on his/her home computer in order for all of
the search functions (Disc 1-4) to operate.
• Only the shuffle functions (Disc 5-6) will operate
without the TTS software installed (see the Quick
Reference Guide).
• For the search functions (Disc 1-4) to operate
properly, TTS software must be run after any songs
are changed (added or removed) on the iPod.
• You can change the Disc position on most audio
units by using the Disc - (preset number 5) and
Disc + (preset number 6). Always refer to the User’s
Guide for proper operation.

To reset the client’s iPod:
1. Cycle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to Hold,
then turn it off again).
2. Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for
6–10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
NOTE: If you are having difficulty resetting the
iPod, set it on a flat surface. As you press the
Select button, make sure your finger does not touch
any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you
press the Menu button toward the outside of the
click wheel and not near the center.
3. If the above steps do not work, try connecting the
iPod to a power adapter and plug the power
adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect the iPod
to your computer. Make sure the computer is on
and isn’t set to sleep mode.
BEFORE TROUBLESHOOTING
• Before troubleshooting, ask the client these
questions:
- What is the main issue?
- What model and generation iPod do you have?
Refer to www.apple.com.
- What version iPod firmware (unit software) is
loaded?
• Go to the Main Menu.
• Select Settings.
• Select About.
- What iTunes version are you using?
- What TTS software version is installed?
• Make sure you have the client’s iPod for
troubleshooting.
• Turn on the iPod, and verify its battery is fully
charged before testing. If the battery is low, the iPod
will not “wake up” when connected.
• Some iPod protective cases cause the Music Link
iPod connector to be installed crookedly or not fully
engaged. Be sure to remove the protective case
before troubleshooting.
