the static should turn to silence as soon as the FlexSMART 4i and car FM stereo
stations are the same.

Tuning the FlexSMART 4i FM Transmitter and your Car Stereo
Auto Seek
Your FlexSMART 4i FM Transmitter is like a small FM radio tower. Once you set
your FlexSMART 4i to an FM station, it will then broadcast a signal to that par-
ticular FM frequency. All you have to do is match your car stereo to that same FM
station and you will be tuning into the FlexSMART 4i’s broadcast.
1- With your car stereo, nd an unused FM station that contains static.
2- Use the (7) UP and (2) DOWN frequency buttons to match your FlexSMART 4i’s
FM frequency to the one shown on your car stereo. You can hold either
button to scroll faster through the stations.
When you hear silence, this means that you have tuned the FlexSMART 4i and
your car FM stereo correctly.
Auto Seek is a feature which enables FlexSMART 4i to nd a clear, unused radio
station for you.
1 - Just press and hold the (7)UP and (2)DOWN Buttons at the same time for
about 3 seconds and the FlexSMART 4i will automatically search for a
frequency that is not used by other broadcasting radio stations.
2 - Adjust the frequency of car FM radio to match the frequency displayed on the
FlexSMART 4i.
3 - If there is frequency interference, please repeat the above steps 1-2 until you
nd a clear frequency.

Adjusting Volume
You can store up to 4 FM station presets to simplify tuning.
1- Select the desired frequency.
2- Press and hold the FM Preset (1, 2, 3 or 4) for about 5
seconds and release it when the corresponding LED
indicator is on.
3 - When frequencies are stored into corresponding
FM Preset Buttons, the LED indicators of all digital
buttons will be on.
4 - Once your FM preset is stored, press its
corresponding button for fast tuning.
Volume adjustment occurs dierently depending on which cables you have
connected between your device and the FlexSMART 4i.
a- If you only have the (9) Dock connector attached for charging and audio then
volume will be controlled only by your car stereo. The volume level on your
device has no aect on your car stereo.
b- If you are using the 3.5mm audio cable with your device, then you will be able
to adjust volume with both your car stereo and your device volume controls.
Connecting music players or cell phones to FlexSMART 4i
If you want to play music from other music players or cell
phones, you can use the 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable to

Troubleshooting
How come the FlexSMART 4i won’t POWER ON?
1- Please make sure you have already pressed down the Power Button
on the FlexSMART 4i.
2- Please make sure the FlexSMART 4i is connected to a car power
source correctly.
3- Please make sure the car power socket is functioning properly.
The power sockets of some cars are only on when the car is running.
4- If the above doesn’t help, the built-in fuse of the FlexSMART 4i may
have been damaged, please try to replace the fuse. For further fuse
information please see page 3, number 19
How come the music is not playing?
1- Please make sure the iPod or iPhone is properly connected.
2- Please make sure the frequency of the FM Radio coincides with the
frequency of the FlexSMART 4i
I can hear sound, but there is static…
1-Please try to adjust the radio station you are using. Many times there
are several stations that are unused, but some still work better than
others. Please try several stations.
2- Sometimes the 3.5mm audio cable can cause some interference.
Please disconnect it to see if the problem improves.
3- Sometimes when there are multiple cell phones in a close proximity
they create a lot of interference with audio signals. You may be
experiencing a combination of FM frequency interference and cell
phone interference. If you are driving, the problem will improve by
trying a new FM station and changing your location.
