RF Emissions
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the headset is connected.
• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your
equipment. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack
may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

Performance Tips
• Connect your transmitter to your car and audio
device before operating your vehicle.
• Bass boost modes may cause distorted sound.
• The FCC regulates and limits your transmitter’s
strength.
• FM channels may experience environmental
interference or be occupied by local radio stations.
Try using a different frequency.
• Certain vehicles may experience more difficulty
receiving clear signals because of the location of the
vehicle’s antenna, metallic film on the windows, or
other external factors.
HIGH-LOW BAND
frequency switch
Step 1
Connect the 12VDC plug into your car’s power
port. Conect the other end to the 5V DC jack
on the transmitter.
Step 3
Turn on your transmitter and audio device.
Select one frequency on the transmitter
and set the radio in the car to the same
frequency. Use the volume controls on your
radio or audio device to adjust the volume. For
best performance, select a frequency that is
not occupied by a strong local FM station.
Step 2
Insert the 3.5mm stereo plug into the 3.5mm
headphone jack of any portable audio device. If
your audio device (LG, Sanyo, Motorola mobile
cell) comes with 2.5mm headphone jack,
connect the 3.5mm plug to the supplied 1/8”
to 3/32” adapter first.
Battery Notes
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the wireless transmitter for
a long period of time, remove the battery. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can damage electronic
parts.
Recycle Rechargeable
Batteries
Placing rechargeable batteries in the trash can be
harmful to the environment. Instead, recycle old
rechargeable batteries at your local RadioShack
store free of charge. RadioShack participates in the
RBRC© battery recycling program, and is committed
to preserving the environment and conserving natural
resources. Call 1-800-THE-SHACK (1-800-843-7422)
for more information.
