Using a Cassette Adapter or Your Car’s Auxiliary Input
TransDock Classic can be connected to your car stereo with a cassette adapter
or a mini plug for cars with Aux-In jacks. This is great because TransDock
Classic will provide access to the superior line out signal from your TransDock
Classic to your cassette adapter or car input, while still cradling and charging
your iPod.
The AV-Out port for these applications is located on the right side of TransDock
Classic. Simply plug your cassette adapter or mini cable (available separeately)
into the Line-Out jack on the right side of TransDock Classic, then plug your cas-
sette adapter or mini plug directly into your car as you normally would.
Using Other MP3 Players or Devices
TransDock Classic will also transmit the audio from other devices like MP3 play-
ers, portable gaming systems, portable DVD players, etc. To do this, plug your
device into TransDock Classic’s Aux-In jack using a standard male-to-male mini
cable (available separately). TransDock Classic will broadcast the attached
device’s audio over the FM radio.
When TransDock Classic is broadcasting audio from another device, it is very
sensitive to the variable output levels of that device. To get the best sound and
performance in this situation, you will need to adjust the volume level of your
device up or down very carefully until there is no distortion. Then, control the
overall volume of the audio with your car stereo’s volume, not the device.
I can’t seem to find a comfortable fit for TransDock Classic in my car.
All car interiors are different in the placement of their auto power outlets.
It can be challenging to fit TransDock Classic into certain cars. Start by loos-
ening the Charger Arm for complete flexibility when attempting to fit the unit
into your car. Then, try using the Extension Arm to fit difficult or out-of-the-
way positions. If you have tried all possible adjustments and still can’t find a
good connection, please visit our website at www.dlo.com and click Support .
I’m having trouble finding an empty FM frequency in my area.
Be sure to look in the 100’s, not just in the 80’s or 90’s. Try scanning to a strong
station, then back down two frequencies - for example 103.5 to 103.1. If that fre-
quency is taken, try scanning to the next strong station and repeat. For more
tips and information, please read Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg 8] and
visit dlo.com/openfm to find the best frequencies in your area.
My audio is playing but there seems to be a lot of static.
First, check that you have found an empty frequency. Unplug TransDock Classic
to see if there might be a radio station interfering. If so, find another empty sta-
tion.
My radio will only scan/seek to occupied FM stations.
Many car radios default to scan/seek mode for tuning, so they automatically
tune to a radio station. Also, most of these radios can be switched to manual
tuning (consult your car or stereo manual on how to do this). You can also
“find” your TransDock Classic by tuning to its selected frequency. Your car
stereo’s scan/seek function will typically find TransDock Classic automatically.
