For best results:
•Try to keep the FM Transmitter close to the antenna of your FM radio. While the FM Transmitter often
works at distances of 30 feet or more, a distance of 10 feet or less will minimize interference and provide
the strongest signal.
•Keep fresh batteries in the FM Transmitter. When the batteries become very low, the transmission strength
will weaken.
*Due to characteristics of FM transmission, you will experience better sound quality by adjusting the volume on
your home or car stereo when necessary, and by leaving your iPod or other portable music player volume at a
medium level.

replace the battery cover.
2. Plug the 3.5mm connector into your iPod player or other portable music device.
3. The AUTO ON feature will power on the FM Transmitter when the unit detects an input signal. Your FM
Transmitter’s “AUTO ON/OFF” feature uses your audio player’s volume level to automatically power on and

both and buttons simultaneously for two seconds to turn on the unit. To turn off the unit, press
and hold both buttons simultaneously again for two seconds.
Note: To conserve power, the FM Transmitter will automatically turn off when there is no input audio signal for
60 seconds +/- 10 seconds.
4. Tune your car or home 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.
5. Press the or button on the FM Transmitter to select the transmission frequency chosen in step 4, on
your car or home stereo, for broadcast. Press and hold either button for fast-forward or backward tuning.
6. To memorize a specific frequency (four stations maximum) for easy selection:
a. Select the desired frequency using the or buttons.
b. Press and hold "mem" (memory) button for two seconds. The icon M1 will blink; then
release it.
c. Press the or button to select one of the memory slots M1, M2, M3 or M4 for storage. The active
memory slot icon will blink.
d. Press the “mem” button again to store the frequency and return to normal operation mode.
e. In operation mode, pressing the “mem” button will toggle among the four memory slots to retrieve the
memorized frequency.
NOTE: When there is no key press for a duration of 10 seconds, the FM Transmitter will return from memory
mode to operation mode.
7. Adjust the volume on your MP3 player or other audio source to a medium level.
8. Adjust the volume of your FM radio to the desired listening level.*
