Controlling the TuneStik FM Transmitter Volume

The TuneStik remote control features +/- Buttons that control the TuneStik FM

transmitter’s volume or “response.” While the +/- Buttons are a good way to con-

trol the volume, we recommend you adjust your TuneStik’s volume for best per-

formance, and then control the overall “loudness” with your car stereo.

Certain levels of transmitter volume are better for different kinds of music. For

instance, a classical song may require more transmitter volume than a metal song.

Once you’ve found an appropriate transmitter volume level, use your car stereo’s

controls to manipulate overall volume and EQ settings.

Using with a Cassette Adapter or Your Car’s MP3 Audio Jack

Even if you’re not using your TuneStik as an FM transmitter, it is a perfect way to

control your iPod from the steering wheel when using a cassette adapter or MP3

audio jack/Aux In. First, connect the TuneStik FM transmitter to your iPod. Then

connect a cassette adapter or your car’s MP3 audio jack/Aux In to your iPod via the

iPod earbud jack. Now you can control your iPod playback without taking your

hands off the wheel.

Finding Empty Radio Frequencies

An empty frequency is one where you can’t hear a radio station, where there is only

static and not even a faint radio station can be heard. If you live in a big city with a lot

of radio stations, ﬁnding an empty FM frequency can be tricky.

Here are some tips for ﬁnding an empty frequency:

• Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to 107.9.

Don’t just look to the low end of the dial, because there are often empty FM

stations in the 100’s that will work great.

• When using the scan/seek function on your car stereo, if your tuner stops on

101 and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range of frequencies for an empty

frequency.

• Try scanning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies - for exam-

ple 103.5 to 103.1. You can often find empty frequencies this way. If that fre-

quency is taken, scan to the next station and try again.

• Save a station as a preset on your radio when you find a frequency that works

well in your area, and also set that frequency as a preset on your TuneStik

remote control.
