SELECTING AN FM FREQUENCY
You can use ClearScan to find a frequency and match it to your stereo, or you can find a
frequency on your stereo and match your TuneCast Auto to the same frequency.
Using ClearScan to Select the Best FM Frequency (recommended)
Your TuneCast Auto uses ClearScan technology to scan for the clearest FM frequency in
your area.
1. Press the “ClearScan” button. Your TuneCast Auto will display the best frequency.
2. Tune your stereo to the frequency on your TuneCast Auto display.
Note: If you immediately press the “ClearScan” button when you turn on your TuneCast Auto,
it may take up to 30 seconds for ClearScan to locate the best frequency. If your audio signal
declines, just press “ClearScan” and the best FM frequency will instantly display.

SELECTING AN FM FREQUENCY

icon will flash on the screen when the frequency is set.

USING THE PRO SETTING TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
Due to characteristics of FM transmission, you will experience better sound quality by adjusting
the volume on your car stereo when necessary, and by leaving your MP3 player volume at a
medium level.
You may be able to improve the audio performance of your TuneCast Auto by using the
PRO setting.
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 TuneCast Auto.
When you press the “PRO” button, your TuneCast Auto will display the PRO setting. Pressing
the “PRO” button again will change the setting to PRO 1, PRO 2, and as follows:
OFF PRO 1 Pro 2

USING THE PRO SETTING TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
Listening to Mono Recordings
Your TuneCast Auto transmits in stereo, but you can also transmit in mono if needed. We
suggest that you switch to mono transmission only if your car stereo is not receiving a clear
signal from the TuneCast Auto or if you are listening to a mono recording such as an audio book.
To switch to mono transmission, press the “PRO” button until “ ” is shown on the display.
The “PRO” button settings are as follows:
OFF PRO 1 Pro 2

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF TUNECAST AUTO
Charging a Device
Your TuneCast Auto comes with a built-in USB charging port. Simply connect your device to the
USB charge port with the appropriate USB charging cable (charging cable not included). If your
device does not charge, make sure your TuneCast Auto is correctly connected to the cigarette
lighter outlet, and that the charge cable is securely connected to your device and the USB
charging port. The indicator light on the cigarette lighter adapter should be lit.
Note: Some vehicles do not provide power to the power outlet unless the vehicle is in ignition
mode or the engine is running.
Optimizing the Sound Quality of your TuneCast Auto
A variety of car radio and antenna configurations are available and you may optimize the sound
quality in your car based on the location of your TuneCast Auto (for example, placing the
TuneCast Auto on the center console may yield better performance than other locations within
your vehicle).

Auto fits securely and firmly into the power outlet before driving.

without disconnecting the battery of the car first. Failure to observe this safety warning
can result in injury or property damage.

to hazardous driving as a result of interaction with the TuneCast Auto, the MP3 music device, or
