Car Setup Instructions
Car Setup Instructions
1. Turn down your car stereo’s volume.
2. Connect the Belkin TuneFM to your iPod nano (at the bottom of
the nano).
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 nano. 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 nano’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 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.

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

Using the TuneFM Transmitter
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 nano 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 nano until it returns to
the Main Menu screen or new settings may not be saved.
2. 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.

| 06Stereo/Mono Selection
Stereo/Mono Selection
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, press one of the
memory preset buttons, or simply wait for the iPod
screen to return to the iPod Main Menu.
Issue – The audio is distorted.
Solution 1
Decrease the volume of your iPod nano until you no longer hear distortion.
Keeping the iPod nano volume level at or below three-fourths of the
maximum should prevent audio distortion.
Solution 2
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 nano 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 nano
is attached.
Solution
The USB connector on the TuneFM can only be used to charge the iPod.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Issue – My iPod nano 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.
