Troubleshooting

  No Power to the Device

Make sure that the unit is fully charged and that the charging indicator 
is blue
If not, please charge the device using the supplied charging cable.
If your battery will not charge, contact GPO Retro directly for a 
replacement and instructions. DO NOT open the battery compartment 
without consulting us firs

  CD isn’t Reading

If you have a CD read error, you may have inserted the CD the wrong 
way. Eject the CD and turn it so that the label side of the CD faces the 
rear of the unit. 

  I Can’t Control the Music from the Unit

If you are using the Bluetooth function, playback must be controlled 
from your paired device. CD and USB playback can be controlled from 
the main panel above the cassette slot, and tape playback from the 
tape control panel below the tape slot.

  I Can’t Find the Unit Using Bluetooth

If a device is already paired to the unit and is within connection range, 
the unit may not appear in future Bluetooth scans. Try unpairing any 
other devices and try again.
