area.
5. Once you have set a channel in radio, press "+" or "-" buttons
to match the frequency channel to FM radio. (For example, if the
radio frequency channel is set to 95.1MHz then the FMPort
Transmitter should also be set to 95.1MHz). Once both the radio
and FMPort Transmitter 's frequency are in-sync, the static noise
in radio will change to iPod music.
6. If the sound quality is not good enough, please find another
frequency channel following step 4 and 5. Adjust the radio
volume to your comfortable level. This is your clear channel, you
can update it into new memory channel.
7. You may need to change the channels from time to time due
to interference that may occur in some areas while you are
driving. For your and other’s safety, you should stop the car to
make change.
