Recycling and Environmental Protection

Packaging you can eat… Well, almost. 🙂
We use ink made from soybeans as opposed to classic petroleum-based ink.
The majority of our packaging is made from 100% recyclable paper.
We limit the use of adhesives. If absolutely necessary, we make sure to choose only water-soluble ones.

Wait about 3 seconds or press the multi function button to confirm and the modulator will automatically connect to the radio.

Pairing using Bluetooth

  1. Connect the modulator to the power connector (12 V – 24 V) in your car.
  2. “BT” and the frequency will flash alternately on the display, which means that the modulator is ready for Bluetooth pairing.
  3. Turn on the Bluetooth function on your phone and start searching for available devices.
  4. Select “APW-FMTV1” from the list and the pairing process starts.
  5. Once the display stops flashing and the FM frequency is displayed, the pairing process has been completed successfully.

Note: To ensure a stable connection, keep a maximum distance of 5 m between the telephone and the modulator.
Automatic pairing
The next time you turn on the modulator, it automatically pairs with the last paired phone. We therefore recommend that you switch on the Bluetooth function before switching on the modulator.
USB Flash Drive Connection
Insert a suitable USB Flash Drive into the USB-A port. The modulator supports USB Flash drives up to 32 GB. If you would like to use a flash drive with a larger capacity, it is necessary to provide an external power supply.
SD card connection
Carefully insert the SD card into the slot on the front of the modulator with the contacts facing up (towards the display) until you hear a click.
If you need to remove the SD card, gently push it back, the card will be released and you will be able to pull it out of the modulator.
Playing audio files
You will be able to play audio files from your phone (via Bluetooth), by connecting a USB flash drive or SD card.
If you have multiple sources connected to play audio files at the same time, press and hold the button Next track. The display will show the individual sources as follows: Bluetooth – USB Flash disk – SD card. When the source from which you want to play audio files appears, release the button. If you select Bluetooth, you will need to press the multi function button to start playback. If you select a USB Flash Drive or SD card, playback will start automatically.
Supported audio file formats: MP3/WMA/FLAC.
Note: Due to the wide range of devices (SD cards and USB Flash drives) on the market, it is not possible to guarantee full compatibility with all available devices. It is necessary to test the used device first and verify its compatibility. We recommend any formatting to the FAT32 file format. Files with a lock or other security features may not be playable. Play tried or unprotected files.
Set volume
Adjust the volume by turning the multi function button to the left or right.
When playing audio files from the phone, we recommend that you first set the maximum volume of the phone and modulator and then adjust it with the volume control on the car radio.
Calls
If you have your smartphone connected to the modulator via Bluetooth, you will also be able to control calls via the modulator.

  1. Answer/End call – press briefly the multi function button.
  2. Rejecting call – press and hold the multi function button.
  3. Last number call – press the multi function button twice.
