SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully slide the sleeve into the top of the cradle and attach the spacer pad to the back of
the cradle.
1. Turn down your stereo volume.
2. Connect your TuneBase FM to the cigarette lighter adapter or power outlet in your vehicle.
The LED on your TuneBase FM indicates proper connection.
Warning: Be careful when rotating the connector in the cigarette lighter adapter or power
outlet. If you experience resistance, unplug the connector and reinsert it in the desired position.
Failure to do so may damage the cigarette lighter adapter or power outlet.
Note: Cigarette lighter adapters vary in size in different vehicles. In some cases, the fit can be
improved by pressing the collar (included with your TuneBase FM) into the power outlet before
inserting the connector. However, the collar will not usually be needed.

BASIC CONTROLS
Using Your TuneBase FM
Your TuneBase FM will automatically turn on when your iPhone or iPod is connected and power
is available, and it will automatically turn off when your iPhone or iPod 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 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 10 seconds
for ClearScan to locate the best frequency.
