Controlling the TuneStik FMTransmitterVolume
The TuneStikControl features+/- Buttons that controlthe TuneStik FM
Transmitter’s volume or “response.” While the+/- Buttonsare a good way to con-
trolthe volume,we recommend you adjust your TuneStik’s volumefor best per-
formance,and then control the overall “loudness” with your car stereo.
Certain levelsof transmitter volume are better for different kinds of music, besure
to set the transmitter volume at thelevel that best suits yourmusic. For instance, a
classical song may require more transmitter volume than say, a metal song. Once
you’ve found an appropriate transmitter volume level, use your car’s stereocon-
trolsto manipulate overall volume and EQ settings.

control your iPod from the steering wheel when using a cassette adapter or MP3
audio jack. First, connect the TuneStik FM Transmitter to your iPod. Then connect a
cassetteadapter oryour car’s MP3 audio jack to your iPod via the iPodheadphone

FindingEmptyRadioFrequencies
What is an empty frequency? It’sa frequency on your car radio where you can’t hear
a radio station, where there is only static and not even a faint radio station can be
heard.If youlive ina big city with a lot of radio stations, finding an empty FM fre-
quency can be tricky.
Hereare some tips for finding an empty frequency:
• Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FMfrequencies, from 88.1 to 107.9.
Don’t just look to the low end of the dial, because there areoften empty FM
stations in the 100’s that will work great.
• When using thescan functionon yourcar stereo, if your tuner stops on 101
and then jumps to 103, look in the 102range offrequencies for an empty fre-
quency.
• Try scanning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies - for
example 103.5 to 103.1. You can often findempty frequencies this way. If that
frequencyis taken, scanto thenext station and try again.
• Save a preset station on your radiowhen youfind a frequency that works well
in your area, and set that frequency as a preset on your TuneStik.
