TuneStage™ for iPod®
Introduction
Designed to let you roam and play your tunes from virtually anywhere in your home, TuneStage from Belkin delivers
the pristine, CD-quality sound that iPod users desire. Using
Bluetooth
™ technology, TuneStage transmits from up to
33 feet away from your stereo, free of the barriers that limit traditional remotes—such as walls, ceilings, or windows.
Please review this User Manual carefully so that you can be sure to get the most from your TuneStage.

For Best Results
• Try to keep the TuneStage Transmitter close to your home stereo system. While the Transmitter often
works at distances of 33 feet or more, a distance of 10 feet or less will minimize interference and
maximize performance.
• Power on the TuneStage Receiver first and then plug the Transmitter into the iPod to begin the
pairing process.
• Adjust the volume on the iPod to a medium level and increase the volume on the stereo to a desired
listening level.
•
Bluetooth
devices are known to have interference from devices operating in the same RF frequency
(2.4GHz). However, using AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping), the interference with 802.11b/g has been
minimized. Some interference (within a 6 1⁄2-foot range) with microwave ovens and 2.4GHz cordless
phones may be present.

Troubleshooting | 06
Troubleshooting
There are multiple
Bluetooth
transmitters or receivers in the same room or range, and they may be
conflicting.
Belkin does not guarantee inter-compatibility with other
Bluetooth
devices; however, the TuneStage Transmitter
and Receiver are 100% compatible with each other. Should there be additional
Bluetooth
devices in the same
range, please follow these instructions:
There is more than one
Bluetooth
receiver (e.g., TuneStage Receiver and
Bluetooth
headphones) in the
same room or range.
The TuneStage Transmitter will pair with the
Bluetooth
receiver that was turned on first or is the closest in
proximity to the Transmitter. If you are paired with the incorrect receiver, turn off the power on the receiver that
will not be used. Remove and reconnect the TuneStage Transmitter to the iPod.
There is more than one
Bluetooth
transmitter (e.g., TuneStage Transmitter,
Bluetooth
USB dongle) in the
same room or range.
The TuneStage Receiver will pair with the closest
Bluetooth
transmitter. Turn off or remove the transmitter that
will not be used. Remove and reconnect the TuneStage Transmitter to the iPod or remove and reconnect the
USB dongle to the computer.
