TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 9 Using Your TuneStik Setting Up Your TuneStik Connect the TuneStik FM Transmitter to your iPod dock connector. Secure your TuneStik Control to your car’s steering wheel using the included cradle and velcro strap. You can position the steering wheel cradle anywhere you want on the wheel, but on the sides nearest your thumb works best. Tune your car stereo to an empty frequency and then match that frequency on your TuneStik.
TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 10 Tuning Your TuneStik Press the Frequency Button on the TuneStik Control. The red light on the top of the remote will flash, and your iPod will display “Ok to disconnect” followed by “CH 1 88.5” (the default broadcast frequency for your TuneStik). This places the TuneStik Control in Frequency Mode. You are now able to change the frequency of your TuneStik to match the station on your car stereo.
TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 11 To set another preset, press the Frequency Button twice to get to the next open channel on your TuneStik, then tune to the desired frequency using the +/- Buttons. Press the Play/Pause Button to exit Frequency Mode, or simply wait to set this frequency as your new preset. Repeat this process for up to four total presets. You can also turn the FM transmitter completely off by cycling past all 4 presets to the OFF Setting.
TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 12 Finding Empty Radio Frequencies 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. If you live in a big city with a lot of radio stations, finding an empty FM frequency can be tricky. 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.
TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 13 Controlling the TuneStik FM Transmitter Volume The TuneStik Control features +/- Buttons that control the TuneStik FM Transmitter’s volume or “response.” While the +/- Buttons are a good way to control the volume, we recommend you adjust your TuneStik’s volume for best performance, and then control the overall “loudness” with your car stereo.
TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 14 Using with a Home Stereo or Other FM Radio You can use the TuneStik as a remote control for your iPod with any home stereo or speaker system. With the TuneStik FM Transmitter connected to your iPod, simply connect your iPod to your stereo via the headphone jack. The TuneStik works anywhere you have an FM radio handy.
TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 15 Tips + Troubleshooting My iPod is not responding to my TuneStik. Reset your iPod by toggling the Hold Switch on and then off again. Then press and hold the Menu and Select Buttons until the Apple logo appears (6 to 10 seconds). You may need to repeat this step. If this does not work, you can reset the TuneStik by pressing the Previous Track, Next Track, and the +/- Buttons simultaneously for 6 to 10 seconds.
TuneStik_manual_GM2:Layout 1 3/25/07 1:05 AM Page 16 My TuneStik Control keeps reverting to the main playback controls, and I can’t find my desired frequency. Remember, when in Frequency Mode, your TuneStik Control will revert back to its Primary Mode after 10 seconds of inactivity. At that time, the station you were tuned to will become a new preset on your TuneStik.
