transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 10 Using Your TransDock Setting Up Your TransDock 1. Connect the Charger Arm to the TransDock Cradle. Take the Charger Arm, insert the flat side into the back of the TransDock Cradle body and turn 90 degrees clockwise to lock it into place.

transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 12 Finding Empty Radio Frequencies If you live in a big city with a lot of radio stations, finding an empty FM frequency can be tricky. What is an empty frequency? It’s a frequency on your car radio where you can’t hear a radio station, where there is only static and not even a faint radio station can be heard. Here are some tips for finding an empty frequency: • Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to 107.9.
transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 13 Tuning Your TransDock To tune your TransDock, use the Up/Down Buttons on the right side of the TransDock Cradle. Use the Up Button for tuning up, and the Down Button for tuning down. The TransDock also has 6 preset stations you can try. The default frequencies for these presets are 88.1, 88.5, 94.9, 100.9, 103.9 and 107.9.

The TransDock features a ‘smart’ USB port on the bottom of the unit. Simply plug in your device with the appropriate cable and keep your unit charged on the road. See Controls + Connections [pg.
transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 17 TransDock Intelligent Power Control The TransDock features Intelligent Power Control. It turns on automatically when you plug it in or when you connect your iPod. It then automatically shuts itself off when not in use for 1 minute, i.e. when no player or device is attached. This feature is ideal for owners of cars that do not turn their Auto Power Outlets off. TransDock will turn itself off – and protect your battery for you.
transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 18 • The TransDock 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 see Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg. 12]. • Be sure to manage your music’s volume, bass and treble settings using your car stereo’s controls.
transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 19 in this situation, you will need to adjust the volume level of your device up or down very carefully, until there is no distortion, only clear sound. Then control the overall volume of your music with your car stereo’s volume control and not the device.
transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 20 Tips + Troubleshooting I can’t seem to find a comfortable fit for the TransDock in my car. What can I do? All car interiors are different in their placement of their Auto Power Outlets. It can be challenging to find just the right way to fit TransDock into certain cars. Do loosen the arms for complete flexibility when attempting to fit the unit into your car. Also try the Extension Arm to fit seemingly difficult or out of the way positions.
transdock_ii_manual_GM2_070124:Layout 1 1/24/07 6:08 PM Page 21 My radio will only scan to occupied FM stations. Many car radios default to scan 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 stereo manual on how to do this). You can also “find” your TransDock’s frequency by scanning to it. Your car stereo’s scan function will most likely automatically find the TransDock.
