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 con-
trol the volume, we recommend you adjust your TuneStik’s volume for best per-
formance, and then control the overall “loudness” with your car stereo.
Certain levels of transmitter volume are better for different kinds of music, be sure
to set the transmitter volume at the level that best suits your music. For instance, a
classical song may require more transmitter volume than say, a metal song. Once
you’ve found an appropriate transmitter volume level, use your car’s stereo con-
trols to manipulate overall volume and EQ settings.
Using with a Cassette Adapter or Your Car’s MP3 Audio Jack
Even if you’re not using your TuneStik as an FM transmitter, it is a perfect way to
control your iPod from the steering wheel when using a cassette adapter or MP3
audio jack. First, connect the TuneStik FM Transmitter to your iPod. Then connect a
cassette adapter or your car’s MP3 audio jack to your iPod via the iPod headphone
jack. Now you can control your iPod without taking your hands off the wheel.

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 fre-
quency 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.
Don’t just look to the low end of the dial, because there are often empty FM
stations in the 100’s that will work great.
• When using the scan function on your car stereo, if your tuner stops on 101
and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range of frequencies for an empty fre-
quency.
• Try scanning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies - for
example 103.5 to 103.1. You can often find empty frequencies this way. If that
frequency is taken, scan to the next station and try again.
• Save a preset station on your radio when you find a frequency that works well
in your area, and set that frequency as a preset on your TuneStik.
