Using the PRO Setting to Improve PerformanceUsing the PRO Setting to Improve Performance | 05When you connect your iPod, your TuneFM will automatically detect the iPod model and adjust the volume. Although the default volume setting will be ideal for most conditions, you may be able to improve the audio performance of your TuneFM by using the PRO setting. The PRO setting can make your music sound louder and fuller by decreasing the amount of attenuation in the audio signal. Professional FM stations use dynamic compression to make music louder and fuller while limiting distortion. You can use the three PRO settings on your TuneFM to add dynamic compression to your audio: When you press the “PRO” button, your TuneFM will display the current PRO setting. Pressing the “PRO” button again will change the setting to PRO1, PRO2, and as follows: OFFNormal – No change to the audio. This setting works well with all types of audio.PRO 1 – Increases the average volume of the audio. This setting works well with most types of music.PRO 2 – Increases the average volume even further. This setting works well with quieter music, but it may cause distortion with louder music. – Increases the average volume and transmits in mono (instead of stereo). This setting works well for podcasts and audio books. It can also be used to improve reception if you are not receiving a clear signal from your TuneFM.
TroubleshootingTroubleshooting | 06The audio is distorted.Solution• Tune your car stereo and the TuneFM to a different frequency.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 PRO setting to mode. This may improve signal reception, but the audio will be monaural instead of stereo.Solution 4• If used indoors, attach or reposition the antennas on the stereo receiver.Playback of my iPod stays paused after I’ve changed a setting on the TuneFM.Solution • Simply press the “Play/Pause” button on your iPod to resume playback.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.
TroubleshootingTroubleshooting | 07When 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. 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. 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 its screen resets.
