•Make sure the frequency you've tuned to is empty and not near a strong station. A good
place to start is channel 88.5, which is the default frequency on TransDock micro II and
often empty.
•TransDock micro II will tune to any radio frequency, from 88.1 to 107.9, so try the
entire spectrum until you find an unoccupied channel. To learn more, please read Finding
Empty Radio Frequencies [pg 8].
Tips and Troubleshooting
My music is playing, but there seems to be a lot of static.
First, unplug TransDock micro II to see if there might be a radio station interfering. If so,
try another frequency. If you are still having trouble, see Finding Empty Radio
Frequencies [pg. 8], or visit www.dlo.com/openfm to search for the best frequencies in
your area.
My radio will only scan/seek to occupied FM stations.
Many car radios default to scan/seek mode for tuning, so they automatically tune to a
radio station. Most of these radios can be switched to manual tuning (consult your car or
radio manual on how to do this).
You can also "find" your TransDock micro II by tuning it to your selected frequency.
Your scan/seek function will typically find TransDock micro II automatically.
My music sounds overdriven and distorted.
Be sure that the FM station you're using is still unoccupied as you drive through different
areas. FM signals can intrude on an unused frequency.
If I leave TransDock micro II plugged into my car's power outlet, will it drain my car
battery?
Probably not. But it's always a good idea to unplug anything when leaving your car for a
long period of time.
NOTE: Your TransDock micro II will continue to draw power from your car's battery as
long as a device is attached.
