Setup Instructions | 04
Wall-Mounting the TuneStage 2 Receiver (Optional)
1. Make sure the antenna is pointed upward.
2. You can hang the Receiver on a wall using two screws (not included).
3. The cables should run through the channel on the bottom of the Receiver, so they are held
securely to the wall.
Setup Instructions
3.2 in. (80mm)

Operating Instructions | 05
STEP 2: TuneStage 2 Transmitter Setup
1. For best results, the Transmitter should be close to the Receiver when first making the
wireless connection.
2. Power on your iPod, and then insert the TuneStage 2 Transmitter into the bottom of
the iPod.
3. The Transmitter will power on automatically, and the blue LED will begin to blink rapidly
while it searches for the Receiver with which to pair. The Receiver LED will also blink rapidly
during this search mode.
4. The Transmitter and Receiver will pair with each other within 60 seconds. When the devices
are paired and ready, the LED on the Receiver will remain on and the LED on the Transmitter
will blink slowly. NOTE: The next time you start up the TuneStage 2, it will pair much faster
as the Receiver remembers the last device with which it paired. This will usually happen in
less than 10 seconds.
5. You can now play any song on your iPod through your stereo. For the best audio quality,
adjust the volume level on your stereo to less than 50-percent full, and use just the iPod to
change the volume up or down. NOTE: Volume control through the click wheel is supported
only on the iPod 5th generation (video), iPod nano 1st generation, and iPod nano 2nd
generation (aluminum).

1. Make sure the TuneStage 2 Receiver’s power button is in the off position.
2. Put your headphones enabled with Bluetooth technology into pairing mode. Consult your
headphones’ user manual on how this is done.
3. For best results, the Transmitter should be close to the headphones when first making a wireless
connection.
4. Power on your iPod, and then insert the TuneStage 2 Transmitter into the bottom of
the iPod.
5. The Transmitter will power on automatically, and the blue LED will begin to blink rapidly while it
searches for your headphones to which to pair.
6. Your headphones’ LED indicator should also blink during pairing. Consult your headphones’
user manual on how the LED-indicator light works.
7. The TuneStage 2 Transmitter and your headphones should pair within 60 seconds. You will be
able to hear music through your headphones if your iPod is in play mode.
8. You can now play any song on your iPod through your headphones. You can control the volume
and track change features through your iPod or through the headphones if they feature these
controls. NOTE: Volume control through the click wheel is supported only on the iPod 5th
generation (video), iPod nano 1st generation, and iPod nano 2nd generation (aluminum).

Charging your iPod

Troubleshooting | 09
Transmitter is not powering on when plugged into the iPod.
• Remove the Transmitter and reinstall it into the bottom of your iPod.
• Ensure that your iPod is charged and powered on, and then press “PLAY” on the iPod scroll wheel.
Receiver is not powering on.
• Ensure that the Receiver’s power switch is in the ON position. Ensure that the AC power
adapter is connected to a powered wall outlet and that the plug is properly inserted into the
TuneStage Receiver’s power jack.
The Transmitter and Receiver are connected, but there is no sound.
• Select a song on the iPod and press “PLAY”.
• Make sure that the audio cable is correctly plugged into the back of the Receiver as well as the
back of the stereo system.
• Ensure that the stereo system is set to the correct input source.
• Make sure that both the iPod and your stereo receiver are powered on.
• Repeat STEP 1 from the setup instructions.
While listening, I notice the sound quality diminishing or hear noticeable interference.
• If there is a 2.4-gigahertz cordless phone or a microwave oven within six feet of the Receiver
and/or Transmitter, this may cause interference. Make sure that the Receiver and/or
Transmitter are not within this range to ensure the best sound quality.
Another device is pairing with the TuneStage 2, and the music from the iPod cannot be heard.
• Turn off the other Receiver or Transmitter that is in the area of the TuneStage 2.
• Repeat STEP 1 from the setup instructions.
