Quick Start
Thanks for purchasing the DLO TransDock micro II. We will get you up and running in
four easy steps. For more detailed instructions, please read Using Your DLO TransDock
micro II [pg 6].
1. Tune your car’s FM radio to 88.5.
This is the default broadcast frequency for TransDock micro II. If 88.5 is not an empty
frequency in your area (i.e. there is music or talk already on that station), please read
Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg 8].
2. Plug your TransDock micro II into your auto power outlet.
This is labeled 12v power outlet or cigarette lighter in older cars.
3. Attach the included Connector Cable to your iPod Dock Connector.
4. Click Play to enjoy your iPod music over your car’s FM radio.

About TransDock micro II FM Transmitter
TransDock micro II is basically a mini radio station that broadcasts your iPod music to
the FM radio in your car, while charging the battery in your iPod at the same time.
TransDock micro II has two Tuning Buttons on either side, so you can tune to any
frequency from 88.1 to 107.9. It comes with four preset stations, so you can set it to the
frequencies you use most.
Setting Up Your TransDock micro II
1. Turn on your car radio and set it to FM radio mode.
2. Slip the Fit Collar onto your TransDock micro II to ensure a secure fit in your car’s
cigarette lighter or 12v power outlet.
3. If you want to change the angle of your TransDock micro II for the easiest access,
loosen the Adjustment Screws and adjust TransDock micro II to the best position.
NOTE: It may help to remove TransDock micro II when you do this. Unplug TransDock
micro II, adjust and plug back in.
4. Plug the Connector Cable into the 30-pin connector end of the cable into your iPod.
5. Find an FM frequency with no signal or radio station. For more help with this, please
read Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg 8].
6. Match the FM frequency on your TransDock micro II with the empty FM station on
your radio using the Tuning Buttons on TransDock micro II (Right Button for tuning up,
Left Button for tuning down). Most of the static will go away. Now your radio has found
TransDock micro II’s signal.
7.To control the overall volume of your music while using TransDock micro II, use the
car radio’s volume control, not the iPod volume.
iPod nano users: Your iPod nano is light enough that you can attach it to your dashboard
for super easy access. TransDock micro II comes with Velcro tabs for mounting your
iPod nano on the dash while using your TransDock micro II.
Finding Empty Radio Frequencies
If you live in a big city with a lot of FM radio stations, finding an empty FM
frequency can be tricky. Visit www.dlo.com/openfm to find the best frequencies in your
area.
Here are some tips for finding an empty station:
•Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to 107.9. Don’t just
look to the low end of the dial. There are often empty
FM stations in the 100’s that will work great.
•When using scan/seek on your car’s radio, if your tuner stops on 101
and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 frequencies for empty stations.
•Try tuning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies - for example 103.5 to
103.1. You can often find empty frequencies this way. If that frequency is taken, scan to
the next station and try again.
•Save a station as a preset on your radio when you find a frequency that works well in
your area, and also set that frequency as a preset on your TransDock micro II. To learn
how to set a preset, please read Setting and Using Preset Stations on your TransDock
micro II [pg. 9].
Tuning Your TransDock micro II
To tune your TransDock micro II, use the Tuning Buttons on either side of the unit –
Right Button for tuning up, Left Button for tuning down.
TransDock micro II has four preset stations. The default presets are 88.1, 94.9, 100.9, and
107.9. To cycle through these presets, briefly press both Tuning Buttons at the same time.
Setting Preset Stations on Your TransDock micro II
To set your own preset stations, follow these simple steps:
1. Using the Left and Right Tuning Buttons, tune TransDock micro II to the station you’d
like to set.
2. Press and hold both Tuning Buttons simultaneously for three seconds to save that
station as a preset channel. The display on TransDock micro II will flash the preset
channel you just set, e.g., CHO1, CH02, CH03 or CH04.
3. To add a second preset, cycle to another preset channel by briefly pressing both Tuning
Buttons at the same time and repeat steps 1 and 2.
NOTE: Your new preset will override whatever preset was last saved.
4.Repeat steps 1 and 2 for preset channels 3 and 4 to set all four TransDock micro II
presets.
Getting the Best Sound Quality
•Make sure the frequency you’ve tuned to is empty and not near a strong station. A good
place to start is channel 88.5, which is the default frequency on TransDock micro II and
often empty.
•TransDock micro II will tune to any radio frequency, from 88.1 to 107.9, so try the
entire spectrum until you find an unoccupied channel. To learn more, please read Finding
Empty Radio Frequencies [pg 8].
Tips and Troubleshooting
My music is playing, but there seems to be a lot of static.
First, unplug TransDock micro II to see if there might be a radio station interfering. If so,
try another frequency. If you are still having trouble, see Finding Empty Radio
Frequencies [pg. 8], or visit www.dlo.com/openfm to search for the best frequencies in
your area.
My radio will only scan/seek to occupied FM stations.
Many car radios default to scan/seek mode for tuning, so they automatically tune to a
radio station. Most of these radios can be switched to manual tuning (consult your car or
radio manual on how to do this).
You can also “find” your TransDock micro II by tuning it to your selected frequency.
Your scan/seek function will typically find TransDock micro II automatically.
My music sounds overdriven and distorted.
Be sure that the FM station you’re using is still unoccupied as you drive through different
areas. FM signals can intrude on an unused frequency.
If I leave TransDock micro II plugged into my car’s power outlet, will it drain my car
battery?
Probably not. But it’s always a good idea to unplug anything when leaving your car for a
long period of time.
NOTE: Your TransDock micro II will continue to draw power from your car’s battery as
long as a device is attached.
