Introduction Thank you for purchasing the FM Transmitter. It transmits high-fidelity audio from any audio source such as Computer, TV, or CD player to any FM radio receiver. Superior engineering and construction techniques were used to bring you the highest quality FM transmitter possible. Never before has this level of performance been available at such a low price.
Audio Sources (Cont.) From MP3 to a radio: Connect the plug that is attached to the FM Transmitter to the Line Out or headphone jack of the MP3 player. Tune your radio or car stereo to the transmitting frequency. From a portable radio to a pocket radio: Connect the plug that is attached to the FM Transmitter to the Line Out or headphone jack of your radio. Tune your pocket radio to the transmitting frequency.

Connection to Power The FM Transmitter will operate on the included AC adapter. It will also operate on (2) “AA” size Alkaline batteries. . Battery Installation 1) Open the cover by pushing down on the textured tab firmly and pushing the cover off toward the side of the unit, the same direction the textured arrow is pointing. 2) Insert the (2) “AA” batteries into the compartment as indicated in the drawing below. Be sure the negative (-) end is against the spring.
Tuning To transmit audio from the FM Transmitter, it is best to find a clear FM frequency that is not being broadcast on and free from interference. 1) Start with a radio and scan through the entire FM band (using a digital radio will be easiest). You are looking for the largest gap in between stations. Once you find a gap, select a frequency located somewhere in the middle. Example: There are no stations broadcasting between 90.1 - 93.5, select 91.5.
Tips To Make It Work Better Location Optimum placement for the FM Transmitter is usually away from other electronic devices and objects. The higher the transmitter is located the better. The transmitter can be helped by placing it on something that will act as a ground plane like a metal filing cabinet or a refrigerator. Try moving it around for best performance. Range is subject to many variables, including obstructions such as walls and FM signal overload in your area.
Trouble Shooting Guide Audio is distorted: Try adjusting the input level on the side of the FM Transmitter (see page 8, #3). If that doesn’t help, try adjusting the volume of your audio source. No Audio: 1) Verify that the power on the FM Transmitter, your audio source, and your receiver is on. 2) Try adjusting the input level on the side of the FM Transmitter. If that doesn’t help, try adjusting the volume of your audio source.
Location / Frequency Log If you use the FM Transmitter in multiple locations, this log will help you remember the different frequency settings.
