Setting Preset Stations on your TransDock micro
To set your own preset stations follow these simple steps:
1. Tune the TransDock micro to the station you’d like to set.
2. Press and hold both tuning buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The dis-
play on the TransDock micro will flash the preset channel you just set,
e.g., CHO1, CH02, CH03 or CH04.
3. To add a second preset, cycle to another preset number by briefly pressing
the tuning buttons at the same time and repeat step 2.
NOTE: Your new preset will override whatever preset was last saved.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for preset channels 3 and 4 to set all 4 TransDock
micro presets.
Getting the Best Sound Quality with Your TransDock micro
• Make sure the frequency you’ve tuned to is empty and not near a strong
station. A good place to start is channel 88.5, which is the default frequen-
cy on the TransDock micro and is often open.
• The TransDock micro will tune to any radio frequency, from 88.1 to 107.9,
so try the entire spectrum until you find an unoccupied channel. To learn
more see Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg 8].
IPOD SHUFFLE USERS: You will need to adjust the volume on your iPod
shuffle initially to achieve the best transmission quality. You should then
use your car radio’s volume control to adjust the overall volume level of
your music.
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.
• Save a preset station on your radio when you find a frequency that works
well in your area. Then set these presets on your TransDock micro for dif-
ferent driving areas (i.e., CH01 for home, CH02 for your commute, etc). To
