Belkin F8Z075 User manual

Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the innovative TuneFM from Belkin. This
product is designed to play your iPod through your car, home or portable stereo. Please
review this User Manual carefully so that you can be sure to get the most from your iPod,
virtually anywhere you go.
Package Include:
● Plastic Spacer (for use only when your iPod is not in case)
● TuneFM for iPod
● Auto Power Cord
Car Setup Instructions
1. Turn down your car stereo’s volume.
2. Connect the Belkin TuneFm to your iPod (at the bottom of the iPod)
3. Connect the included Auto Power Cord to your cigarette-lighter outlet in your car and
the bottom of your TuneFM for optional powering and charging in the car.
Using the TuneFM Transmitter
The TuneFM transmitter function automatically turns on when the iPod is connected. It
automatically turns off when the iPod is removed.

1. 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.
2. Insert the TuneFM to your iPod. The iPod backlight will turn on and the current
transmitter frequency will be displayed on the iPod screen.
3. Press the ▲or ▼button on the TuneFM to select the transmission frequency chosen
in step 1. The frequency will be visible on the iPod’s screen. Pressing and holding
either button will provide faster tuning.
4. After displaying the current frequency for five seconds, the iPod screen willreturn to
the iPod main menu. This happens whenever you make changes to the TuneFM’s
settings. All settings-including transmission frequency, volume-control setting, and
stereo/mono-control settings-are permanently stored in memory at this time.
Note: iPod playback will pause momentarily when entering and exiting the TuneFM
control menu. Playback will quickly resume.
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.
Storing and Using Presets
1. To store a preset, select the desired frequency using ▲or ▼button. Press and hold
the desired preset button (1,2,3,or 4) for two seconds. An audible beep sounds in the
transmitted audio when the new frequency is programmed﹡. The iPod display
reflects the change when the memory button is released by showing which memory
button was pressed followed by the frequency saved in that memory position.
﹡Do NOT remove the TuneFM from the iPod until it returns to the Main Menu screen
or new settings may not be saved.
2. To transmit over one of your preset frequencies, momentarily press “1”, “2”, “3”, or

“4”.This will instantly tune the FM transmitter to the frequency stored in that preset.
Troubleshooting
Issue – The audio is distorted.
Solution
Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency.
Issue – I am unable to get clear FM reception.
Solution1
Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency.
Solution2
In some instances, lowering the car antenna (available in some cars) improves the clarity
of the TuneFM’s signal.
Solution3
Change the stereo/mono setting to mono mode. This may improve signal reception, but
the audio will be monaural instead of stereo.
Solution4
If used indoors, attach or reposition the antenna on the stereo receiver.
Issue – iPod playback stays paused after I’ve changed a setting on the TuneFM.
Solution
Simply press the “Play/pause” button on your iPod to resume playback.
Issue – 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. Your settings are stored in memory when the iPod screen
returns to the iPod Main Menu.
Issue – 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.
Issue – My iPod does not seem to be charging.
Solution 1
Make sure that TuneFM is correctly connected to your car’s power outlet with the included
Auto Power Cord.
Solution2
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.
Issue – After a playlist finishes, the display freezes on the “OK to Disconnect”
screen.
Solution1
If the TuneFM is not removed, simply press a button on the TuneFM and normal operation
will resume.
Solution2
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 screen resets.
