Note: To conserve power, the FM Transmitter will automatically turn off when there is no input audio signal for
60 seconds +/- 10 seconds.

one that is not broadcasting a radio program, or is doing so weakly.

memorized frequency.
NOTE: When there is no key press for a duration of 10 seconds, the FM Transmitter will return from memory
mode to operation mode.

8. Adjust the volume of your FM radio to the desired listening level.*
Mobile Power Cord Included for Extra Power
Connect one end of the cable into the DC port located on the bottom of the FM Transmitter.
Plug the other end of the cable into the cigarette lighter port in your car
Once the cable is plugged into the FM Transmitter, the unit will shut off. You will need to manually turn on the unit.
NOTE: This cable will NOT charge the TuneCast II Mobile FM Transmitter. It only provides power in order to
preserve battery life while in the car.
For best results:
• Try to keep the FM Transmitter close to the antenna of your FM radio. While the FM Transmitter often
works at distances of 30 feet or more, a distance of 10 feet or less will minimize interference and provide
the strongest signal.
• Keep fresh batteries in the FM Transmitter. When the batteries become very low, the transmission strength
will weaken.
*Due to characteristics of FM transmission, you will experience better sound quality by adjusting the volume
on your home or car stereo when necessary, and by leaving your iPod or other portable music player volume
at a medium level.
