Tips & Troubleshooting
I can’t find an empty FM frequency in my area.
Be sure to look in the 100’s, not just left of the dial in the 80’s or 90’s.
Try scanning to a strong station, then back down two frequencies - for exam-
ple 103.5 to 103.1. If that frequency is taken, try scanning to the next strong
station and repeat. For more tips and helpful information read the
Finding
Empty Radio Frequencies
section [pg 7].
My music is playing but there seems to be a lot of static in the sound.
First, check that you have a clear frequency. Unplug the TransPod for iPod
shuffle to see if there might be a radio station interfering. If so, find another
clearer station. Next, make sure your shuffle has just the right amount of vol-
ume going to the TransPod for iPod shuffle.
My radio will only scan to occupied FM stations.
Many car radios default to SCAN mode for tuning, so they automatically tune
to a radio station. Most of these radios can be switched to manual tuning (con-
sult your car or stereo manual on how to do this).
You can also “find” your TransPod for iPod shuffle by tuning to its selected fre-
quency. Your scan function will most likely automatically find the TransPod for
iPod shuffle.
My music sounds overdriven and distorted.
TransPod for iPod shuffle is very sensitive to the shuffle’s volume input. Turn
the volume up on your shuffle until it sounds clear with no distortion, but do
not turn it up past this level. Use the car stereo’s volume control to set the
overall listening volume. Also, be sure that the FM station you’re using is still
unoccupied as you drive through different areas, FM signals can intrude on an
unused frequency.
Using the DLO TransPod for iPod shuffle with a Cassette Adapter or a Direct
Input in Your Car
The TransPod for iPod shuffle can be connected to your car stereo with a cas-
sette adapter or a mini plug cable for cars with auxiliary input jacks.
The output for these applications is located on the bottom of the TransPod for
iPod shuffle. Just plug your cassette adapter or mini cable into the LINE OUT
jack on the bottom of the TransPod for iPod shuffle and connect your cassette
adapter or mini plug directly into your car stereo.
Using other MP3 Players or Devices with the DLO TransPod for iPod shuffle
The TransPod for iPod shuffle will even transmit the music from other devices
like other iPods, MP3 players, portable DVDs, etc. It will even charge USB
chargeable devices like cell phones (with the right USB cable). To do this, just
plug your MP3 player, DVD player, laptop, CD player or other audio device into
the TransPod for iPod shuffle using a standard male-to-male mini cable (not
included). The TransPod for iPod shuffle will broadcast the device using its
high-quality FM transmitter.
Just like when used with the iPod shuffle, the TransPod for iPod shuffle is very
sensitive to the volume setting of the audio device. To get the best sound from
your TransPod for iPod shuffle, you need to adjust the volume level of your
device until there is no distortion, only clear sound. Then control the overall
volume of your music with your car stereo’s volume and not the de
vice.
IMPORTANT: When using the TransPod for iPod shuffle with another device, be
sure to remove the shuffle from the USB dock.
