How state law relates to the warranty.
THIS WARRANTY CONTAINS THE SOLE WARRANTY
OF BELKIN. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES,
EXPRESSED OR, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW,
IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OR
CONDITION OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SUCH
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IF ANY, ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not
apply to you.
IN NO EVENT SHALL BELKIN BE LIABLE FOR
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES SUCH AS,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST BUSINESS OR PROFITS
ARISING OUT OF THE SALE OR USE OF ANY BELKIN
PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may
also have other rights, which may vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental, consequential, or other damages, so the above
limitations may not apply to you.
1. Open the battery cover on your TuneCast II Mobile FM
Transmitter. Install the included AAA batteries and replace
the battery cover.
2. Plug the 3.5mm connector into your iPod player or other
portable music device.
3. The AUTO ON feature will power on the FM Transmitter
when the unit detects an input signal. Your FM
Transmitter’s “AUTO ON/OFF” feature uses your audio
player’s volume level to automatically power on and off.
For best results, keep your player set at a medium volume
level. NOTE: Setting your device volume very low may
cause the FM Transmitter to turn off, even if the audio
player is on. You can also press and hold both ▲ and ▼
buttons simultaneously for two seconds to turn on the
unit. To turn off the unit, press and hold both buttons
simultaneously again for two seconds.
Note: To conserve power, the FM Transmitter will
automatically turn off when there is no input audio signal for
60 seconds +/- 10 seconds.
4. Tune your car or home 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.
To identify the best available frequencies in your area, visit
www.belkin.com/mybestfm.
5. Press the ▲ or ▼ button on the FM Transmitter to select
the transmission frequency chosen in step 4, on your
car or home stereo, for broadcast. Press and hold either
button for fast-forward or backward tuning.
6. To memorize a specific frequency (four stations maximum)
for easy selection:
a. Select the desired frequency using the ▲ or ▼ buttons.
b. Press and hold “mem” (memory) button for two
seconds. The icon M1 will blink; then release it.
c. Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select one of the memory
slots M1, M2, M3 or M4 for storage. The active
memory slot icon will blink.
d. Press the “mem” button again to store the frequency
and return to normal operation mode.
e. In operation mode, pressing the “mem” button will
toggle among the four memory slots to retrieve the
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.
7. Adjust the volume on your MP3 player or other audio
source to a medium level.
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.
