Product Usage Instructions
INTRODUCTION
TuneCast Auto is a device that charges your iPod while allowing you to play music through yourcar’s FM radio. You can control your TuneCast Auto using your iPhone or iPod touch by downloading the free ClearScan LIVE app from the App Store.
Get the ClearScan LIVE App
ClearScan LIVE lets you control your TuneCast Auto LIVE directly from your iPhone or iPod touch. ClearScan LIVE also provides improved ClearScan results by:
- Using your GPS location to find the best FM station in your area
- Recommending open stations based on what other people in your area are using
Look for ClearScan LIVE in the App Store on iTunes. See instructions in the app’s Help section for more information.
CONNECT YOUR TUNECAST AUTO
Follow these steps to connect your TuneCast Auto:
- Turn down your stereo’s volume.
- Connect your TuneCast Auto to the cigarette lighter or power outlet in your vehicle.
- Connect your iPhone or iPod to your TuneCast Auto.
Note: In order to comply with government regulations, European versions of TuneCast Auto will automatically turn off if there is no audio for approximately 60 seconds. It will automatically turn on when it detects audio from your iPhone or iPod. You can also press the “m1” or “m2” button to turn on your TuneCast Auto.
FIND AN OPEN FM STATION
There are two ways to find an open FM station: by using ClearScan or selecting
an FM station manually.
Use ClearScan to find the best station (recommended)
Your TuneCast Auto uses ClearScan technology to constantly scan for the
clearest FM frequency in your area.
- Press the “ClearScan” button. Your TuneCast Auto will display the best frequency.
- Tune your stereo to the frequency on your TuneCast Auto display.
Find a station manually
If you want to transmit on a specific frequency, you can manually select it on your TuneCast Auto:
- First, tune your car radio to an open station, one that plays only static or has a very weak radio signal.
- Press the + or – button on your TuneCast Auto to select the same station.
To identify the best available frequencies in your area, visit www.belkin.com/mybestfm.
Save and select stations
You can save two stations using the “m1” and “m2” buttons.
- To save a station, select the desired frequency on your TuneCast Auto using the + or – buttons.
- Press and hold the “m1” or “m2” button for two seconds. The “m1” or “m2” icon will flash on the screen when the station is saved.
- To recall a saved station, press the “m1” or “m2” button. Your TuneCast Auto will change to the saved station.
USE THE PRO BUTTON TO BOOST SOUND
If you find the sound is too weak, press “PRO” to boost the sound coming from your iPod. PRO will cycle through the following settings:
PRo setting | Use for… | description |
---|---|---|
Normal | All types of audio | No change to audio |
PRO 1 | Most types of music | Increases the average volume of the audio |
PRO 2 | Quieter music | Increases the average volume more than PRO 1; may cause |
distortion of louder music
| Audio books, mono recordings, podcasts| Increases the average volume and
transmits in mono
| Try this if you do not receive a clear signal|
GET THE MOST OUT OF TUNECAST AUTO
Charge your iPhone or iPod
Your TuneCast Auto will charge your iPhone or iPod while it is connected to a
power outlet and receiving power. If your iPhone or iPod is not charging, make
sure your TuneCast Auto is correctly connected to the power outlet and that
your iPhone or iPod is securely connected to your TuneCast Auto. The indicator
light on the cigarette lighter adapter should be lit.
Note: Some vehicles do not provide power to the power outlet unless the
vehicle is in ignition mode or the engine is running.
Optimize the sound quality of your TuneCast Auto
A variety of car radio and antenna configurations are available and you may
optimize the sound quality in your car based on the location of your TuneCast
Auto (for example, placing the TuneCast Auto on the center console may yield
better performance than other locations within your vehicle).
SAFETY WARNINGS
- Do not attempt to connect your TuneCast Auto while driving. Make sure your TuneCast Auto fits securely and firmly into the power outlet before driving.
- Do not attempt to adjust or retrieve an unsecured TuneCast Auto or iPhone or iPod while driving.
- Position the TuneCast Auto so that both the TuneCast Auto and the iPhone or iPod do not interfere with any of the operating controls of the car.
- Do not insert any objects other than the cigarette lighter adapter into the power outlet without disconnecting the battery of the car first. Failure to observe this safety warning can result in injury or property damage.
- Belkin does not assume any responsibility for personal injury or property damage incurred due to hazardous driving as a result of interaction with the TuneCast Auto, the iPhone or iPod, or the vehicle’s power outlet.
