Mounting the ice Link: Plus Cradle
Broken cradle due to the use of force without first loosening the set screw is not covered by the
warranty!
Assemble the base of the iPod cradle with an optional vehicle specific adapter. An optional adapter is not
required, however it is recommended for easy and damage free installation.
Attach the cradle to the back with at least 2 screws. If holes do not align rotate the base until a match is found.
Insert the front of the cradle to the back piece, but do not force the cradle onto the base. The pin is keyed
and will only insert in one orientation. Align cradle orientation as desired. Tighten the set screw with the
included Allen wrench. Do not drive the set screw through the pin, only tighten the screw so it grabs the pin.
Once set, the cradle should not be forced to a different position. To adjust, first loosen the set screw, tilt and
rotate to realign, and then fasten the screw again.
A variety of spacers and rubber pads are included to provide the best support for the iPod. These are held in
place by a double sided tape, and may be removed by the end user if a thicker iPod is used later on.
?A slight black line may appear on the back side of the iPod Photo the first few times it is inserted
into the cradle. This line can be easily removed with a soft cloth, as it is only paint rubbing off of
the cradle.

Troubleshooting
If iPod does not charge -
1. Check all connections.
2. Make sure that charge control is not turned off (see user's manual pages 11 and 12).
3. Connect the iPod to a computer to see if it will charge from there.
If you can not hear music playing -
1. Make sure CD changer, SAT mode, or AUX is selected on your radio; the correct key will depend on your radio system
and the installation type
2. Make sure that a non-empty album or playlist is selected on the iPod.
If you can not switch your radio to CD changer mode -
1. Check cables to make sure everything is tight.
2. Remove the fuse of the radio, wait for 30 seconds, and then reinsert the fuse. This will reset your radio and the interface.
You may have to enter the radio security code, so please keep it handy.
3. Consult with your installer or contact your local Dension support center.
If you can not control the iPod from the radio or if checkmark remains on iPod screen -
1. Make sure the firmware on your iPod is the most recent. For updates please visit www.apple.com/ipod
2. Reset the iPod.On the click-wheel iPods hold the center button and the Menu buttons, on the 3rd generation models
press and hold Menu and Play/Pause buttons until iPod reboots. (Resetting will not erase your music, it will only restart the
operating system of the iPod.)
If iPod does not turn on -
1. Verify that the iPod's battery is not depleted by attempting to turn it on without connecting it to the car.
2. Turn off both your car stereo, and the iPod before inserting it to the cradle. Power on your radio and select the
appropriate source.
3. Attempt to lower output level of ice>Link Plus from the ice>Link Plus setup menu. See users manual pg.12.
If the music is distorted or the sound level is too low -
1. Check and make sure all EQ and BASS boost options are turned OFF on your iPod.
2. Make sure the Gain control is adjusted properly on the ice>Link, located under ice>Link Plus setup.
Why is the menu size small on the iPod photo?
1. iPod photo has a high resolution screen, and therefore everything appears smaller.
2. At the time of development, iPod photo specifications were not available. A future firmware upgrade may enlarge menu
size.
!
Please make sure that you connect the plug and the receptacle in the right orientation and that the housing
latches to ensure tight retention.
