Setup Instructions

1. Turn your car stereo volume down.

2. Connect the Belkin TuneBase FM to your cigarette-lighter adapter in your car. The

LED on the TuneBase FM indicates proper connection.

Warning: Avoid excessive force when rotating the connector in the cigarette-lighter

adapter. If you experience resistance, unplug the connector from the outlet and re

insert it in the desired position. Failure to do so may result in damage to the car’s

cigarette-lighter adapter or power outlet.

Note: The exact dimensions of power outlets vary by make and model of the car.

In some cases, the fit might be improved by pressing the collar (included with the

product) into the power outlet before inserting the connector in order to ensure a

tight fit. However, the collar will not be necessary in most cars (note: when it is not

necessary, it will not fit in the power outlet).

A. Be sure to position the ring securely around the metal contact to ensure proper

electrical connection within the power outlet.

Using the TuneBase FM Transmitter

The TuneBase FM transmitter function automatically turns on when the iPod nano is

connected and car power is available. It automatically turns off when the iPod nano is

removed or car power becomes unavailable.

1. Tune your car stereo frequency to a channel with a weak broadcast signal.

The ideal channel is one that is not broadcasting a radio program, or is

doing so weakly.

2. Insert your iPod nano into the TuneBase FM. The iPod nano backlight turns on and the

current transmitter frequency displays on the iPod nano screen.

3. Press the ”

▲” or “▼” button on the TuneBase FM to select the transmission frequency

chosen in step 1. The frequency will be visible on the iPod nano’s screen. Pressing and

holding either button will provide faster tuning.

4. After displaying the current frequency for five seconds,

the iPod nano screen will return to the iPod nano Main

Menu. This will happen after making any changes to

the TuneBase FM’s settings. All settings—including

transmission frequency, volume control setting, and

stereo/mono control setting—are permanently stored in

memory at this time.

Note: iPod nano playback pauses momentarily when

entering and exiting the TuneBase FM control menu.

Playback will quickly resume.

5. Adjust the volume of your FM radio to the desired

listening level.

Storing and Using Presets

1. To store a preset, select the desired frequency using ”▲” or “▼” buttons.

Press and hold the desired preset button (1, 2, 3, or 4) for two seconds. An

audible beep sounds when the new frequency is programmed*. The iPod nano

display reflects the change when the memory button is released by showing

which memory button was pressed followed by the frequency saved in that

memory position.

* Do NOT remove the iPod nano from the cradle until it returns to the Main Menu

screen or new settings may not be saved.

2. To select a preset frequency, momentarily press “

1”, “2”, “3”, or “4”. This instantly

tunes the FM transmitter to the frequency stored in that preset.

Transmission Volume Setting

Although the default volume setting will be ideal for most conditions, you

may be able to improve the performance of the TuneBase FM by adjusting

the volume of the transmitted audio signal. The TuneBase FM allows you to

select one of five volume levels. You may wish to decrease the volume if you

experience distorted audio.

The transmission volume setting menu can be accessed by pressing the

“1” and “2” buttons simultaneously. TuneBase FM will display the current

volume setting on the iPod nano, which is represented by “VOL 1” (low),

“VOL 2”, “VOL 3” (default), “VOL 4”, and “VOL 5” (high).

You can then change the volume level by using the up and down arrows. To

accept your volume selection, simply wait for the iPod nano screen to return

to the iPod Main Menu.

Stereo/Mono Selection

Transmitting music in stereo generally gives you the highest-quality

listening experience. However, you may get better FM signal reception by

changing the transmission to mono. TuneBase FM transmits in stereo mode

by default. We suggest that you switch from stereo to mono transmission

only if your car stereo is NOT receiving a clear signal from the TuneBase FM,

or if you are listening to mono recordings such as audio books.

You can access the stereo/mono transmission menu by pressing the “1”

and “3” buttons simultaneously. The TuneBase FM then displays the current

mode setting, which is represented by “MONO” or “ST”. You can change the

mode by pressing the up or down arrows. Either arrow will change between

the two modes. The new setting takes effect immediately.

To accept your mode selection, simply wait for the iPod screen to return to

the iPod Main Menu.

Troubleshooting

Issue - My iPod nano does not seem to be charging.

Solution 1 - Make sure that the TuneBase FM is correctly connected to your car’s power

outlet. The green indicator light on the cigarette-lighter adapter portion of the product

should be lit at all times.

Solution 2

- Check to see that the iPod nano is pushed all the way into the cradle.

Solution 3 - Ensure that your car’s power outlet is receiving power. Some cars are

designed so that power is not provided to the power outlet unless the car is in ignition

mode or the engine is running. If none of these solutions solves the problem, the fuse of

the TuneBase FM might be burned out. In order to replace the fuse, please carefully follow

this procedure:

NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO

THIS IN THE CAR.

Use a clean, level

surface or table for disassembly so

that components do not get lost.

The contact piece at the front end

of the cigarette-lighter adapter

is spring-loaded. With pliers,

carefully and slowly remove the

nut at the front end so that the

spring inside the cigarette-lighter

adapter does not get lost. The

fuse will be easily accessible now.

Purchase a new fuse at any auto-

supply store.

Please refer to Fig. A for correct order

of assembly. Be sure to tighten the

nut firmly with pliers.

Troubleshooting

Issue - The audio is distorted.

Solution 1

- Decrease the TuneBase FM volume setting. Setting the volume setting to “VOL 4” or

“VOL 5” increases the likelihood of audio distortion, except when using iPod nano.

Solution 2 - Make sure that your iPod nano EQ setting is “Off” or “Flat”. Some EQ settings cause the

audio to clip.

Solution 3

- Tune your car stereo and the TuneBase FM to a different frequency.

Issue - The audio is too quiet.

Solution

- Increase the transmission volume setting. If your hear distortion in the audio, decrease the

volume setting. The default setting of “VOL 3” is ideal for most conditions.

Issue - I am unable to get clear FM reception.

Solution 1

- Tune your car stereo and the TuneBase FM to a different frequency.

Solution 2

- In some instances, lowering the car antenna (available in some cars) will improve the

clarity of the TuneBase FM’s signal.

Solution 3

- Change the stereo/mono setting to mono mode. This may improve signal reception, but

the audio will be monaural instead of stereo.

Issue - iPod nano playback stays paused after I’ve changed a setting on the TuneBase FM.

Solution

- Simply press the “Play/Pause” button on your iPod nano to resume playback.

Issue - When I remove my iPod nano from the TuneBase FM cradle or turn off my car, iPod

nano playback does not automatically pause.

Solution - If you remove the iPod nano from the TuneBase FM cradle within 12 seconds of adjusting

the TuneBase FM settings, or remove power to the TuneBase FM during this time, the iPod nano may

not automatically pause. Simply press the “Play/Pause” button on your iPod nano to pause playback.

Troubleshooting

Issue - When returning to the iPod nano Main Menu after adjusting

the TuneBase FM settings, the iPod nano stays on the “OK to

disconnect” screen.

Solution

- Remove your iPod nano from the TuneBase FM and reconnect.

If no longer using the TuneBase FM, simply remove and then reset your

iPod nano by pressing the “select” and “menu” buttons simultaneously

for 10 seconds.

Issue –

The TuneBase FM does not appear to be saving my settings.

Solution

- Be sure not to remove the iPod nano from the cradle or remove

power to the TuneBase FM while adjusting the TuneBase FM settings. Your

settings are stored in memory when the iPod nano screen returns to the iPod

nano Main Menu.

Issue – The TuneBase FM and iPod nano are in the way of

my car’s controls.

Solution

- The TuneBase FM has been designed to easily position in a wide

range of orientations within the car. Use the flexible gooseneck and the

articulation behind the docking cradle to position it away from any controls of the car.

Be sure to position the gooseneck in as close to an upright position in relation to the

adapter as possible (Fig. B).

Issue - The TuneBase FM connects firmly to the power outlet of my car but

the TuneBase FM still rotates.

Solution

- Check to see if the power outlet of your car rotates in its socket. If so, please

consult your car manufacturer.

Issue - The rubber friction washer is out of position and I cannot insert the

cigarette-lighter adapter into the car’s power outlet.

Solution

- Please use a clean and empty table for disassembly. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO

DO THIS IN THE CAR. Use pliers to loosen the nut at the end of the cigarette-lighter

adapter slightly. It is not necessary to unscrew the entire nut. Move the friction washer

back into centred position. Use pliers to tighten the nut firmly.

Troubleshooting

Issue - I pulled the TuneBase FM out of the power outlet of my car but the rubber washer

slipped off and remained in the power outlet.

Solution

- This is rare, but if it occurs: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY OF YOUR CAR BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE WASHER! ANY ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE WASHER WITHOUT

DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN PHYSICAL HARM TO YOU OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR.

Use pliers to carefully remove the friction washer from the power outlet. Then, place it back onto the

cigarette-lighter adapter. Then, reconnect the car battery.

Issue - The TuneBase FM rotates out of position around the centre of the power outlet.

Solution 1

- Be sure to solidly attach the cigarette-lighter adapter portion of the TuneBase FM in the

power outlet. Test the stability by pushing it sideways before driving.

Solution 2

- In some cars, the power outlet is bigger in diameter than the cigarette-lighter adapter.

You will notice a wiggle in the TuneBase FM when pushing it. In that case, fit the collar provided

around the TuneBase FM’s cigarette-lighter adapter. Then, attach the cigarette-lighter adapter to

the power outlet. Slide the collar into the power outlet, making sure that all four protrusions securely

fit into the power outlet.

Solution 3

- Some power outlets will not fit all four protrusions of the collar. In order to improve

the fit of the cigarette-lighter adapter in the power outlet of the car, you can cut the collar to size. In

order to do so, please cut as many protrusions as necessary with scissors. Carefully cut one by one,

always trying the fit in the power outlet after each cut. Cut the protrusions from one side to

the other (Fig. C).

Fig C. Test fit in power outlet after each cut!
