Basic Controls
Basic Controls | 07
Using Your TuneBase FM
Your TuneBase FM will automatically turn on when your iPod or iPhone is connected and
power is available, and it will automatically turn off when your iPod or iPhone is removed or if
power becomes unavailable.
Using ClearScan to Find the Best FM Frequency (recommended)
Your TuneBase FM uses ClearScan technology to scan for the clearest FM frequencies in
your area. If you hear any interference:
1. Press the “ClearScan” button. TuneBase FM will display the words “tune to” followed
by a clear frequency. It will then start transmitting on this new frequency.
2. Tune the stereo to the frequency on your TuneBase FM display.
3. If you hear interference on the new frequency,
just press the “ClearScan” button again and
tune your stereo to the new frequency.
Note: If you immediately press the ClearScan
button when you turn on your TuneBase FM,
it may take up to 30 seconds for ClearScan to
locate the best frequency.

Manually Selecting an FM Frequency
If you want to use a specific frequency, you can manually select it on your TuneBase FM.
1. Tune your stereo to a frequency with a weak signal. If possible, try to find a frequency that
is not broadcasting a radio station.
2. Press the +or —button on your TuneBase FM to select the same frequency. Pressing
and holding either button will provide faster tuning.
Storing a Preset Frequency
When you find a clear FM frequency, you can store it for later use. You can store two radio
frequencies using the 1 and 2 preset buttons.
1. If you are not currently on the frequency you want to store, use the +or –buttons to
select the frequency.
2. Press and hold the 1 or 2 preset button for two seconds. You will hear a beep when the
new frequency is programmed.
Selecting a Preset Frequency
Press the 1 or 2 preset button. Your TuneBase FM will change to the preset frequency.
Using the Audio-Out Jack and a Cassette Adapter
Your TuneBase FM is equipped with a 3.5mm audio-out jack. If you cannot find a clear FM
frequency, you can connect the 3.5mm audio-out jack on your TuneBase FM directly to
your stereo (if line-in is available) or to a cassette adapter. Note: When making this type of
connection, TuneBase FM and your car stereo should be turned off to eliminate possible
damage caused by Electrostatic discharge (ESD).
