FINDING EMPTY RADIO FREQUENCIES
If you live in a big city with a lot of FM radio stations, finding an “empty” FM fre-
quency can be tricky. Here are some tips for finding an empty station:
• 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. There are often empty FM stations in
the 100’s that will work great.
• When using scan on your car radio, if you’re tuner stops on 101 and then
jumps to 103, look in the 102 frequencies for empty stations.
• 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.
OPTIMIZING THE SOUND QUALITY OF YOUR TRANSCAST FM
To acheive the best sound quality from your TransCast FM, you must carefully
adjust the volume level of your device. Try turning up the volume of your device
until you do hear noise or distortion, then back down the volume to just below that
level. This optimal volume level can change based on the style of music as well.
Control of the overall listening volume should be adjusted with your car radio’s
volume and not the device.
CHARGING YOUR TRANSC
AST FM IN THE CAR
The TransCast FM includes a Car Charger that both powers the TransCast FM and
recharges the TransCast FM battery. The Car Charger works with any 12V ciga-
rette lighter in your car, van or truck. Simply plug the Car Charger into the 5V DC
Adapter Jack to keep your TransCast FM powered and playing for those long trips.

About the FM Transmitter
The TransCast FM is basically a mini radio station that broadcasts your device’s
audio to the radio in your car, at home, anywhere an FM radio is available. The
TransCast FM will tune to any FM frequency from 88.1 to 107.9.
USING THE TRANSCAST FM
The TransCast FM is compatible with all iPods/MP3 players, the Sony PSP and
any audio device with headphone output. To begin using your TransCast FM,
simply:
1. Insert the included rechargeable battery into the TransCast FM’s battery
compartment. For long road trips in the car or to save the TransCast FM’s
battery power, attach and use the included TransCast FM Car Charger.
2. Plug in the TransCast FM Headphone Cable into your iPod, PSP, or MP3
player’s headphone jack, and then into your TransCast FM’s headphone
jack.
3. Power on your TransCast FM. The default frequency for the TransCast FM
is 88.1, which should be displayed on the TransCast FM’s LCD screen.
4. Turn on your FM radio and find an FM frequency with no signal or radio
station, if 88.1 is occupied. For more help with this, read Finding Empty
Radio Frequencies on page 7.
5. Match the FM frequency on your TransCast FM with the empty FM station
on your radio using the tuning switch on the TransCast FM. You should
hear most of the static go away when you do this. Now your radio has
found the TransCast FM’s signal.
6. Press play on your connected MP3 player, PSP or other audio device.
