Frequently Asked Questions - TuneFM for iPod BELKIN

How do I set the FM frequency on the Belkin TuneFM?

Press and hold the tune button to automatically scan for an available frequency, or press the up/down buttons to manually adjust to a clear channel. The selected frequency will appear on the display.

Why is there static or interference when using the TuneFM?

Static usually occurs when the transmitter frequency conflicts with a local radio station. Try changing to a different frequency that is unused in your area. Also, ensure the iPod is close to the car radio antenna (within 10 feet) and the device is not obstructed by metal objects.

Which iPod models are compatible with the TuneFM?

The TuneFM is compatible with iPods that have a 30-pin dock connector, including iPod classic (all generations), iPod mini, iPod nano (1st to 4th generation), and iPod touch (1st generation with 30-pin). It does not work with Lightning connector devices.

Does the TuneFM charge my iPod while in use?

No, the TuneFM only transmits audio from the iPod to your car stereo. It does not provide charging. Ensure your iPod has sufficient battery before use.

What is the transmission range of the TuneFM?

The effective transmission range is up to 10 feet (3 meters) under optimal conditions. For best performance, place the iPod with TuneFM within a few feet of your car's radio antenna.

Can I use the TuneFM with a car charger?

The TuneFM draws power from the iPod itself, so it does not have a separate power input. You can use a car charger to keep the iPod charged while the TuneFM is transmitting, but the transmitter does not charge the iPod.

How do I clean and maintain the TuneFM?

To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use any liquids, sprays, or abrasive cleaners. Avoid exposing the device to moisture or extreme temperatures.

What should I do if the LED indicator does not light up?

First, ensure your iPod is on and connected properly. If the LED still does not light, try reconnecting the TuneFM or testing with a different iPod. If the issue persists, the device may be defective; contact Belkin support.

Is there a warranty for the Belkin TuneFM?

Yes, Belkin typically offers a 2-year limited warranty for this product. Keep your proof of purchase and check the official Belkin website for warranty terms and conditions.

How should I store the TuneFM when not in use?

Store the TuneFM in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not wrap the cable too tightly to avoid damage. Keep it in a protective case if possible.

USER MANUAL TuneFM for iPod BELKIN

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the innovative TuneFM from Belkin. This product is designed to play your iPod through your car, home, or portable stereo. Please review this User Manual carefully so that you can be sure to get the most from your iPod, virtually anywhere you go.

Introduction | 01

Car Setup Instructions

1. Turn down your car stereo's volume.
2. Connect the Belkin TuneFM to your iPod (at the bottom of the iPod).
3. Connect the included Auto Power Cord to your cigarette-lighter outlet in your car and to the bottom of your TuneFM for optional powering and charging in the car.

The TuneFM transmitter function automatically turns on when the iPod is connected. It automatically turns off when the iPod is removed.

1. Tune your stereo frequency to a channel with a weak broadcast signal. The ideal channel is one that is not broadcasting a radio program, or is doing so weakly.
2. Insert the TuneFM into your iPod. The iPod backlight will turn on and the current transmitter frequency will be displayed on the iPod screen.
3. Press the ▲ or ▼ button on the TuneFM to select the transmission frequency chosen in step 1. The frequency will be visible on the iPod's screen. Pressing and holding either button will provide faster tuning.
4. After displaying the current frequency for five seconds, the iPod screen will return to the iPod Main Menu. This happens whenever you make changes to the TuneFM's settings. All settings—including transmission frequency, volume-control setting, and stereo/mono-control settings—are permanently stored in memory at this time.

Note: iPod playback will pause momentarily when entering and exiting the TuneFM control menu. Playback will quickly resume.

Using the TuneFM Transmitter

1. Adjust the volume of your FM radio to the desired listening level.

NOTE: We recommend that you remove the TuneFM from the iPod when not in use.

1. To store a preset, select the desired frequency using ▲ or ▼ buttons. Press and hold the desired preset button (1, 2, 3, or 4) for two seconds. An audible beep sounds in the transmitted audio when the new frequency is programmed*. The iPod display reflects the change when the memory button is released by showing which memory button was pressed followed by the frequency saved in that memory position.

*Do NOT remove the TuneFM from the iPod until it returns to the Main Menu screen or new settings may not be saved.

1. To transmit over one of your preset frequencies, momentarily press "1", "2", "3", or "4". This will instantly tune the FM transmitter to the frequency stored in that preset.

Transmission-Volume Setting

Although the default volume setting will be ideal for most conditions, you may be able to improve the performance of the TuneFM by adjusting the volume of the transmitted audio signal. The TuneFM allows you to select one of five volume levels. You may wish to decrease the volume if you experience distorted audio.

You can access the transmission-volume menu by pressing the "1" and "2" buttons simultaneously. TuneFM displays the current volume setting on the iPod, which is represented by "VOL 1" (low), "VOL 2", "VOL 3" (default), "VOL 4", and "VOL 5" (high).

You can then change the volume level by using the up and down arrows. To accept your volume selection, simply wait for the iPod screen to return to the iPod Main Menu.

Note: The iPod nano has a lower audio-output level than other iPod models, so a volume setting of "VOL 4" or "VOL 5" works best for iPod nano.

Transmitting music in stereo generally gives you the highest-quality listening experience. However, you may get better FM signal reception by changing the transmission to mono. The TuneFM transmits in stereo mode by default. We suggest that you switch from stereo to mono transmission only if your car stereo is NOT receiving a clear signal from the TuneFM, or if you are listening to mono recordings such as audio books.

You can access the stereo/mono transmission menu by pressing the "1" and "3" buttons simultaneously for two seconds. The TuneFM then displays the current mode setting, which is represented by "MONO" or "ST".

You can change the mode by pressing the up or down arrows. Either arrow will change between the two modes. The new setting takes effect immediately.

To accept your mode selection, simply wait for the iPod screen to return to the iPod Main Menu.

Troubleshooting

Issue – The audio is distorted.

Solution

Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency.

Issue – I am unable to get clear FM reception.

Solution 1

Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency.

Solution 2

In some instances, lowering the car antenna (available in some cars) improves the clarity of the TuneFM's signal.

Solution 3

Change the stereo/mono setting to mono mode. This may improve signal reception, but the audio will be monaural instead of stereo.

Solution 4

If used indoors, attach or reposition the antennae on the stereo receiver.

Issue – iPod playback stays paused after I've changed a setting on the TuneFM.

Solution

Simply press the "Play/Pause" button on your iPod to resume playback.

Issue – The TuneFM does not appear to be saving my settings.

Solution

Be sure NOT to remove the iPod from the cradle or remove power to the TuneFM while adjusting the TuneFM settings. Your settings are stored in memory when the iPod screen returns to the iPod Main Menu.

Issue – When I attach a USB cable from my computer to the TuneFM, my computer does not recognize that the iPod is attached.

Solution

The USB connector on the TuneFM can only be used to charge the iPod.

Issue – My iPod does not seem to be charging.

Solution 1

Make sure that the TuneFM is correctly connected to your car's power outlet with the included Auto Power Cord.

Solution 2

Ensure that your car's power outlet is receiving power. Some cars are designed so that power is not provided to the power outlet unless the car is in ignition mode or the engine is started. If none of these solutions solves the problem, the fuse in the Auto Power Cord might be burned out and need to be replaced.

Issue – After a playlist finishes, the display freezes on the "OK to Disconnect" screen.

Solution 1

If the TuneFM is not removed, simply press a button on the TuneFM and normal operation will resume.

Solution 2

If the TuneFM is accidentally removed, reattach the TuneFM to return the iPod to normal operation. If the iPod does not return to normal operation, manual reset of your iPod may be required. To manually reset your iPod, simultaneously press and hold the "Menu" and "Select" buttons on your iPod until the iPod screen resets.

Warning

DO NOT INSERT ANY OBJECTS OTHER THAN THE CIGARETTE-LIGHTER ADAPTER INTO THE POWER OUTLET OF THE CAR WITHOUT DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OF THE CAR FIRST. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS SAFETY WARNING CAN RESULT IN POSSIBLI INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Belkin does not assume any responsibility for personal injury or property damage incurred due to hazardous driving as a result of interaction with the TuneFM, the iPod, or the power outlet of the car.
