User Manual TuneBase ™ FM for iPod ® Introduction Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the innovative TuneBase FM from Belkin. This product is designed to mount, stabilize, charge, power, and play your iPod as you drive. Please review this User Manual carefully so that you can be sure to get the most from your iPod, virtually anywhere you go. Firmware Required For complete compatibility, confirm your iPod has the following version of firmware. To check your iPod’s firmware, select the “Settings” menu and then select the “About” menu. Your iPod’s version is listed under “Version”. If your firmware is out of date, consult the manufacturer’s website to download an updated version. Introduction | 01 iPodVersion of Firmware iPod mini1.4 and above iPod photo1.1 and above iPod 4G3.1 and above iPod nano1.0 and above iPod video1.0 and above Note: iPod 3G is not supported. Setup Instructions 3. Bend and position the flexible-steel neck to a desired position for your iPod. 4. The TuneBase FM for iPod includes eight adapters for all supported iPod models (4G iPod 20GB/40GB, iPod photo 30GB/60GB, iPod video 30GB/60GB, mini, nano). Choose the adapter that fits your iPod and carefully insert the adapter firmly into the top of the cradle. 5. Carefully slide your iPod into the cradle at the top of the TuneBase FM. The iPod will power on if the car battery is on. Note: The iPod automatically pauses playback when power is removed from the cigarette lighter or the car is turned off. Note: To avoid damage to the iPod, please be sure to disconnect it from the TuneBase FM’s cradle before disconnecting the TuneBase FM from the power outlet of the car. Introduction | 03 ��������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������� ��������������������� ������������������������� Setup Instructions | 02 Setup Instructions 1. Turn your car stereo volume down. 2. Connect the Belkin TuneBase FM to your cigarette-lighter adapter in your car. The LED on the TuneBase FM indicates proper connection. Warning: Avoid excessive force when rotating the connector in the cigarette-lighter adapter. If you experience resistance, unplug the connector from the outlet and reinsert it in the desired position. Failure to do so may result in damage to the car’s cigarette-lighter adapter or power outlet. Note: The exact dimensions of power outlets vary by make and model of the car. In some cases, the fit might be improved by pressing the collar (included with the product) into the power outlet before inserting the connector in order to ensure a tight fit. However, the collar will not be necessary in most cars (note: when it is not necessary, it will not fit in the power outlet). A. Be sure to position the ring securely around the metal contact to ensure proper electrical connection within the power outlet. B. Power source (cigarette-lighter outlet) C. Fit ring D.

To store a preset, select the desired frequency using ”▲ To store a preset, select the desired frequency using ”▲ To store a preset, select the desired frequency using ”” or “▲” or “▲▼” buttons. Press and hold the desired preset button (1, 2, 3, or 4) for two seconds. An audible beep sounds when the new frequency is programmed*. The iPod display reflects the change when the memory button is released by showing which memory button was pressed followed by the frequency saved in that memory position. * Do NOT remove the iPod from the cradle until it returns to the Main Menu screen or new settings may not be saved. 2. To select a preset frequency, momentarily press “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4”. This instantly tunes the FM transmitter to the frequency stored in that preset. ��������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������� ��������������������� ������������������������� Frequency display Frequency selector Memory station display Memory stations 1 - 4 Using the TuneBase FM Transmitter | 04 Using the TuneBase FM Transmitter The TuneBase FM transmitter function automatically turns on when the iPod is connected and car power is available.

Tune your car stereo frequency to a channel with a weak broadcast signal. The ideal channel is one that is not broadcasting a radio program, or is doing so weakly. 2. Insert your iPod into the TuneBase FM. The iPod backlight will turn on and the current transmitter frequency will be displayed on the iPod screen. 3. Press the ”▲ Press the ”▲ Press the ”” or “▲” or “▲▼” button on the TuneBase FM to select the transmission frequency chosen in step 1. The frequency will be visible on the iPod’s screen. Pressing and holding either button will provide faster tuning. 4. After displaying the current frequency for five seconds, the iPod screen will return to the iPod Main Menu. This will happen after making any changes to the TuneBase FM’s settings.

At the request of Belkin Corporation, the tests were performed by Chomerics Test Services (CTS) of Woburn, Massachusetts at Chomerics’ test facility located in Rochester, New York. The assessment will determine the compliance or non-compliance with the requirements set up by the Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Standard FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.239. The Radiated and Conducted Emission Standard FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.239 is designated for Information Technology Equipment (ITE) with intentional transmitters. Jeff Meyers from Belkin Corporation was present during testing. Testing was performed on December 2, 2005. 1.1.2 Requirements The requirements for the sequence of tests performed on the TuneBase FM for iPod - Model F8Z049 are as follows: FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.239 Radiated Electromagnetic Emissions FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.239, Emission requirements for Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Sec. 15.239: Operation in the band 88-108 MHz. - Emissions from the intentional radiator shall be confined within a band 200 kHz wide centered on the operating frequency. The 200 kHz band shall lie wholly within the frequency range of 88-108 MHz. The field strength of any emissions within the permitted 200 kHz band shall not exceed 250 microVolts/meter (47.95 dBuV) at 3 meters. The emission limit in this paragraph is based on measurement instrumentation employing an average detector. The field strength of any emissions radiated on any frequency outside of the specified 200 kHz band shall not exceed the general radiated emission limits in Sec. 15.209. Conducted Emissions is not required due to the fact that the device under test is DC powered.
