Tips to Make it Work Better

Location
Optimum placement for the FM Transmitter 2 is usually away from other electronic
devices and objects. The higher the transmitter is located the better. The transmitter
can be helped by placing it on something that will act as a ground plane like a metal
filing cabinet or a refrigerator. Try moving it around for best performance.
Range is subject to many variables, including obstructions such as walls and FM
signal overload in your area. The range of the FM Transmitter 2 is between 30 and 75
feet, line of sight with no obstructions. Vehicle FM radios may recieve further
distances than a portable FM radio.
Auto Shut-Off Timer
The "Auto Shut-Off" will not work until you activate it. Press and hold the Power
Button until the words Auto-OFF appear in the display and the transmitter begins to
cycle through the available shut-off times. You can choose from 1, 2, 3, 4 or 8 hour
shut-off times. If you miss the time you want, just keep holding the Power Button
down and it will start over. To select your time, let go of the button. Turning the power
off and back on clears the Auto Shut-Off.

Audio Sources

From a powered (condenser type) microphone: Connect the plug that is attached
to the FM Transmitter 2 to the Line Out of the microphone. For larger more traditional
mics, it would plug into the line out of the amp or audio mixer. Tune your radio or car
stereo to the transmitting frequency.
From your internet radio, smart speaker or computer to your home stereo:
Connect the plug that is attached to the FM Transmitter 2 to the headphone jack on
your speakers or to the audio output of the computerʼs sound card. Tune your receiver
to the transmitting frequency.
From a mobile phone or tablet to your car stereo: Connect the plug that is
attached to the FM Transmitter 2 to the Line Out or headphone jack of the phone.
Tune your car stereo to the transmitting frequency. Some products may require a
special adapter (known as a dongle) if it does not include a standard Line Out or
headphone jack.
From a portable radio to a pocket radio: Connect the plug that is attached to the
FM Transmitter 2 to the Line Out or headphone jack of your radio. Tune your pocket
radio to the transmitting frequency. This is sometimes good for office or warehouse
environments where reception is only available in a window or other specific location.
