Using the TuneFM Transmitter
Using the TuneFM Transmitter | EN-3
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 iPod will turn on and the current
transmitter frequency will be displayed on the TuneFM’s 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.
3. Match station frequency 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.

Using the PRO Setting to Improve Performance
Using the PRO Setting to Improve Performances | EN-5
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 PRO
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 | EN-6
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 | EN-7
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 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.
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 its screen resets.
