TuneStik_2_manual_GM_070928:Layout 1 9/28/07 4:47 PM Page 10 Tuning Your TuneStik First, you will need to put your TuneStik into Frequency Mode. To do this, press the Frequency Button on the TuneStik remote control. This will cause the LCD on the TuneStik remote control to light up and display the FM frequency to which the TuneStik is currently broadcasting. Now you can change the frequency of your TuneStik to match the station on your car stereo.

TuneStik_2_manual_GM_070928:Layout 1 9/28/07 4:47 PM Page 12 Finding Empty Radio Frequencies An empty frequency is one 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_2_manual_GM_070928:Layout 1 9/28/07 4:47 PM Page 13 Controlling the TuneStik FM Transmitter Volume The TuneStik remote 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. Certain levels of transmitter volume are better for different kinds of music.
TuneStik_2_manual_GM_070928:Layout 1 9/28/07 4:47 PM Page 14 Using TuneStik 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 earbud jack. The TuneStik works anywhere you have an FM radio handy.

Remember, when in Frequency Mode, your TuneStik remote control will revert back to its Primary Mode after a few seconds of inactivity. At that time, the station you were tuned to will become a new preset on your TuneStik.
