The SOUNDMASTER FM Transmitter is easy to use. Insert the narrow end of the
transmitter into your car’s DC Jack. This may also be your car’s lighter receptacle.
Plug your iPod or MP3 player into the transmitter, select a station on your
transmitter and turn your radio tuner to match that station. For best results,
choose a radio station that is not currently in use in your area. You have up to 100
frequencies to choose from and your IPod is automatically charged while in use.
The blue LCD background light allows you to adjust the frequency easily, even in
the dark.
NOTE: If the LCD light fails, disconnect it and re-plug it back into the cigarette
lighter jack after 3 seconds.
NOTE: Make sure your SOUNDMASTER FM Transmitter is plugged securely into
your car’s DC Jack (lighter receptacle). Be sure to press firmly, as this will be a tight
fit. You should hear a “click” and see the FM Transmitter light up when it is properly
installed.
