F8Z179-XXXP75527-A User Manual TuneFM ™ for iPod Introduction Introduction | 01 The innovative TuneFM from Belkin is designed to play your iPod through your car, home, or portable stereo. Please review this User Manual carefully so that you can be sure to get the most from your iPod, virtually anywhere you go. Package Includes: "VU P1 PXFS$ PS E 5VOF' .G PSJ1 PE • TuneFM for iPod • Auto Power Cord • User Manual • Quick Install Guide Car Setup Instructions Car Setup Instructions | 02 1. Turn down your car stereo’s volume. 2. Plug the Belkin TuneFM to your iPod (at the bottom of the iPod). 3. Plug the included Auto Power Cord to your cigarette lighter outlet in your car and to the bottom of your TuneFM for optional powering and charging in the car.  -  -  -  -     Using the TuneFM Transmitter Using the TuneFM Transmitter | 03 The TuneFM transmitter function automatically turns on when the iPod is connected. It automatically turns off when the iPod is removed. 1. Insert the TuneFM into your iPod. The backlight of the TuneFM will turn on after pressing “Play” on the iPod, or any buttons on the TuneFM, and the current transmitter frequency will be displayed on its screen. 2. Tune your 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. To identify the best available frequencies in your area, visit www.belkin.com/mybestfm. 3. Match station using plus and minus buttons. 4. Press the ”+” or “-” button on the TuneFM to select the transmission frequency chosen in step 2. The frequency will be visible on the screen of the TuneFM. Pressing and holding either button will provide faster tuning. 5. Adjust the volume of your FM radio to the desired listening level. NOTE: We recommend that you remove the TuneFM from the iPod when not in use. Storing and Using Presets Storing and Using Presets | 04 1. To store a preset, select the desired frequency using ”+” or “-” buttons. Push and hold the memo button for 1 or 2 seconds until you hear a beep to store the station. An audible beep sounds in the transmitted audio when the new frequency is programmed. 2. To transmit over one of your preset frequencies, momentarily press “1” or “2”. This will instantly tune the FM transmitter to the frequency stored in that preset.  -  - Using the PRO Setting to Improve Performance Using the PRO Setting to Improve Performance | 05 When you connect your iPod, your TuneFM will automatically detect the iPod model and adjust the volume. Although the default volume setting will be ideal for most conditions, you may be able to improve the audio performance of your TuneFM by using the PRO setting. The PRO setting can make your music sound louder and fuller by decreasing the amount of attenuation in the audio signal. Professional FM stations use dynamic compression to make music louder and fuller while limiting distortion. You can use the three PRO settings on your TuneFM to add dynamic compression to your audio: When you press the “PRO” button, your TuneFM will display the current PRO setting. Pressing the “PRO” button again will change the setting to PRO1, PRO2, and as follows: OFF Normal – No change to the audio. This setting works well with all types of audio. PRO 1 – Increases the average volume of the audio. This setting works well with most types of music. PRO 2 – Increases the average volume even further. This setting works well with quieter music, but it may cause distortion with louder music. – Increases the average volume and transmits in mono (instead of stereo). This setting works well for podcasts and audio books. It can also be used to improve reception if you are not receiving a clear signal from your TuneFM. Troubleshooting Troubleshooting | 06 The audio is distorted. Solution • Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency. I am unable to get clear FM reception. Solution 1 • Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency. Solution 2 • In some instances, lowering the car antenna (available in some cars) improves the clarity of the TuneFM’s signal. Solution 3 • Change PRO setting to mode. This may improve signal reception, but the audio will be monaural instead of stereo. Solution 4 • If used indoors, attach or reposition the antennas on the stereo receiver. Playback of my iPod stays paused after I’ve changed a setting on the TuneFM. Solution • Simply press the “Play/Pause” button on your iPod to resume playback. The TuneFM does not appear to be saving my settings. Solution • Be sure NOT to remove the iPod from the cradle or remove power to the TuneFM while adjusting the TuneFM settings. Troubleshooting Troubleshooting | 07 When I attach a USB cable from my computer to the TuneFM, my computer does not recognize that the iPod is attached. Solution • The USB connector on the TuneFM can only be used to charge the iPod. My iPod does not seem to be charging. Solution 1 • Make sure that the TuneFM is correctly connected to your car’s power outlet with the included Auto Power Cord. Solution 2 • Ensure that your car’s power…
