turns on when an audio signal is detected.
5Select the frequency from Step two above using the
up and down arrows on the front of your mobile FM

Tip: The mobile FM transmitter works best
when the iPod volume is set between 50%
to 75% of maximum. After you have tuned
to the frequency and begun transmitting,
adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
Tip: Your iPod may not automatically turn
off. Be sure to unplug it to stop playback

are in memory.
