Quick Start Guide

Thanks for purchasing Griffin’s iTrip Pocket, the most compact way to play your iPod

through any FM radio. Setting up iTrip is a breeze. Follow these few simple steps

and you’ll be ready to go in no time.

Get Ready

1. Start by tuning your FM radio to an unused station. Select a frequency on which you

hear nothing but static. The ideal choice would be a frequency with silent frequencies

on either side. For example, if 88.3 is open, 88.1 and 88.5 would ideally be clear as well.

2. Connect iTrip Pocket to the Dock Connector on the bottom of your iPod. If this is the

first time you’ve used iTrip Pocket, your screen will display the Griffin logo, and a factory

default setting of 88.1 MHz. iTrip will then start playing your iPod automatically and

the red LED will glow to show that you are broadcasting.

Tuning your iTrip Pocket

Press the or button to adjust iTrip’s frequency to match the open station you selected

above. Tuning will be shown on the iPod screen. Press and hold the or button to scan

through the frequencies faster. Once tuned, wait 2 seconds and iTrip will automatically lock

in that frequency. Your music will now be playing through your speakers. Use the volume

controls on your radio to set your music at a comfortable level. Your iPod and its controls

will work as they normally do, allowing you to move through your music and playlists.

And, hey — even though we named it “iTrip Pocket,” it's a good idea to detach it from your

iPod before putting it in your pocket (or bag, or backpack...), to avoid subjecting the connectors

to unnecessary strain.

Using iTrip Pocket’s presets

iTrip Pocket automatically remembers its most recently-used frequency,

but you can also save the best frequencies for easy use.

First, tune iTrip Pocket to the frequency you want to save. Then, select preset button 1, 2 or 3

and hold it down for at least three seconds. iTrip’s red LED will flash and the iPod screen will

show a large grey 1, 2 or 3 behind the displayed frequency to show that the setting has been stored.

Accessing the Preferences Menu

Pressing both and buttons together for more than 2 seconds will open up iTrip’s

Preferences Menu. In this menu, you can toggle between stereo and mono modes.

Some audio content, such as audio books, will sound much the same in either stereo

or mono. Since mono mode produces a stronger signal, you may choose to listen in mono,

especially in populated areas where there are a lot of active stations crowding the dial.

Troubleshooting

Problems? No problem. Here’s what to do:

1. Check your iPod. Is the battery charged? iTrip draws its power from your iPod battery.

When you plug iTrip Pocket into your iPod, do you then see the Griffin tuning screen

on your iPod? Is your iPod paused?

2. Check your FM radio. Power on? Radio tuned to an open, unused frequency? Is the

radio’s volume correctly adjusted? If iTrip experiences an extended period of silence or

quiet portion of a song, it could go into a low power mode to extend iPod battery life.

To wake it back up, restart music on your iPod, or disconnect and re-connect your iTrip.

3. Check your iTrip. Is iTrip fully connected with your iPod? Have you selected the

same frequency on your iPod that is currently tuned on your radio?
