Ear piece does not work. Station top light does not come on

I cannot get my 510 ear piece to work. The station top light does not come on at all. I tried pairing it to no avail. Does the fact that my ear piece is 510 and the base appears to be a 500 make a difference?

Did the earpiece battery run down? If it did, the base will lose the connection. Does the red light on the left on the holder flash?

Ensure you have charged the earpiece and turn it on ... once the earpiece is flashing blue, I've found it take about 30-45 seconds for the base to pick it up and pair again.

You'll know it found it when the red light becomes solid and the blue upper light glows.

The 500A base station is definitely compatible with the 510 earpiece. If the earpiece is turned off or unpaired the base station's red power light will be flashing. If the earpiece is already off, try turning it on by holding down the little black button on top. The base station will automatically try to find the earpiece and the blue light on top of the base will come on. If the earpiece is already on (slow flashing blue light on the mic boom) turn it off and back on again and wait for the base to find it.

No sound from speaker but through ear piece I get sound.

Many devices will automatically switch off the large speaker when ear phones are plugged into them. Also there may be a switch or button or prompt on your radio to switch between regular speaker and ear phone jack. Look for that first.
Try connecting and disconnection ear phones while listening to a station and see if the problem is intermittent. If is works sometimes but not every time then it is most likely an internal connection.
You will have to access the inside of the radio to investigate further. Connect a working external music or sound source with speaker wire to the terminals inside the radio that connect to the radio's speaker. If the radio's speaker works with the external sound source then you know it is a bad connection inside your radio. If the radio's speaker does not work with the external sound source then it is most likely a faulty radio speaker. Look closely for a broken solder point or broken/disconnected wire.

My nokia radio off

If you turn on your radio and it does not come on as you say, there are different sides to the problem.
1. If when you turn it on, it does not come on, and probably tells you that 'enhancement is not supported', then the problem is from the enhancement (ear piece). Get another enhancement and try again. If you have done that and it still was not helpful, or the problem was not even from the enhancement, then proceed.
2. If when you turn it on, it shows a station or frequency number on the screen, but you dont hear anything, then the ear phone of your enhancement is faulty. To confirm that the problem is from the ear phone, select

options> loudspeaker.

If you hear the sound, it confirms that the ear phone is bad.
You can then use your old enhancement on loudspeaker or get another enhancement.

Hope that helped?
Success.

Hi There I want to use my ipod Nano Radio while the ipod is in its docking station and play the music through the dock speakers but the radio wont work without the ear buds plugged in for reception. What...

The ear buds are not only the headphones but are also the antenna for the radio.
This one issue that has to be addressed by the dock manufacturer. You will have to tamper around with the Nano to modify it to work with out a ear buds by letting a wire permanently hang out from the device - which I think would look ugly !!!

Bose sound dock - no sound comes through it but my ipod works with the ear plugs so it's not my ipod

I had this problem for the pat two days. Believe it or not I took my Ipod touch of the dock. Shut the power off to the Ipod to reset it. Also the power to the docking station. turned everything back on. Put the Ipod back into the docking station and heard the beep.. and hit play and it was working again. Not sure but shutting Ipod off does act like a reset.

Check settings and look for maximum volume, this might have been changed.
otherwise your plug in your ipod is broken or both your headphones and docking station are broken.
