is not occupied by a strong local FM station.
• Connect your transmitter to your car and
audio device before operating your vehicle.
• Bass boost mode may cause distorted sound.
• The FCC regulates and limits your
transmitter’s strength.
• FM channels may experience interference or
be occupied by local radio stations. Try using
a different frequency if this is the case.

• Certain vehicles may experience more
difficulty receiving clear signals because
of the location of the vehicle’s antenna,

external factors.

FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that
you stop using your FM Transmitter. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Ignition L. P. may cause interference and
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
