The TuneFM transmitter function automatically turns on when the iPod is connected. It
automatically turns off when the iPod is removed.
1. 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.
2. Insert the TuneFM into your iPod. The iPod backlight will turn on and the current
transmitter frequency will be displayed on the iPod screen.
3. Press the or button on the TuneFM 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 happens whenever you make changes to the TuneFM’s
settings. All settings—including transmission frequency, volume-control setting, and
stereo/mono-control settings—are permanently stored in memory at this time.
Note: iPod playback will pause momentarily when entering and exiting the TuneFM
control menu. Playback will quickly resume.

1. To store a preset, select the desired frequency using or buttons. Press and hold
the desired preset button (1, 2, 3, or 4) for two seconds. An audible beep sounds in
the transmitted audio 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 TuneFM from the iPod until it returns to the Main Menu screen
or new settings may not be saved.
2. To transmit over one of your preset frequencies, momentarily press “1”, “2”, ”3”, or “4”.
This will instantly tune the FM transmitter to the frequency stored in that preset.
Transmission-Volume Setting
Although the default volume setting will be ideal for most conditions, you may be able
to improve the performance of the TuneFM by adjusting the volume of the transmitted
audio signal. The TuneFM allows you to select one of five volume levels. You may wish to
decrease the volume if you experience distorted audio.
You can access the transmission-volume menu by pressing the
“1” and “2” buttons simultaneously. TuneFM displays the current
volume setting on the iPod, which is represented by “VOL 1” (low),
“VOL 2”, “VOL 3” (default), “VOL 4”, and “VOL 5” (high).
You can then change the volume level by using the up and down
arrows. To accept your volume selection, simply wait for the iPod
screen to return to the iPod Main Menu.
Note: The iPod nano has a lower audio-output level than other iPod models, so a volume
setting of “VOL 4” or “VOL 5” works best for iPod nano.

Transmitting music in stereo generally gives you the highest-quality listening
experience. However, you may get better FM signal reception by changing the
transmission to mono. The TuneFM transmits in stereo mode by default. We suggest
that you switch from stereo to mono transmission only if your car stereo is NOT
receiving a clear signal from the TuneFM, or if you are listening to mono recordings such
as audio books.
You can access the stereo/mono transmission menu by pressing
the “1” and “3” buttons simultaneously for two seconds. The
TuneFM then displays the current mode setting, which is
represented by “MONO” or “ST”.
You can change the mode by pressing the up or down arrows.
Either arrow will change between the two modes. The new
setting takes effect immediately.
To accept your mode selection, simply wait for the iPod screen to
return to the iPod Main Menu.

Issue – The audio is distorted.
Solution
Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency.
Issue – 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 the stereo/mono setting to mono mode. This may improve signal reception,
but the audio will be monaural instead of stereo.
Solution 4
If used indoors, attach or reposition the antennae on the stereo receiver.

Issue – iPod playback stays paused after I’ve changed a setting on the
TuneFM.
Solution
Simply press the “Play/Pause” button on your iPod to resume playback.
Issue – The TuneFM does not appear to be saving my settings.

adjusting the TuneFM settings. Your settings are stored in memory when the iPod
screen returns to the iPod Main Menu.
Issue – 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.

Issue – 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 outlet is receiving power. Some cars are designed so that
power is not provided to the power outlet unless the car is in ignition mode or the
engine is started. If none of these solutions solves the problem, the fuse in the Auto
Power Cord might be burned out and need to be replaced.
Issue – After a playlist finishes, the display freezes on the
“OK to Disconnect” screen.
Solution 1
If the TuneFM is not removed, simply press a button on the TuneFM and normal
operation will resume.
Solution 2
If the TuneFM is accidentally removed, reattach the TuneFM to return the iPod to
normal operation. If the iPod does not return to normal operation, manual reset of
your iPod may be required. To manually reset your iPod, simultaneously press and hold
the “Menu” and “Select” buttons on your iPod until the iPod screen resets.
