Plug In Your TuneBase
Follow the steps in this section to set up your TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free (the
TuneBase). These steps coincide with those in the Quick Install Guide but provide more detail.
1. Insert your TuneBase into the power
outlet in your car.
2. Test the tightness of fit in the power
outlet. The TuneBase should give some
resistance when you try to rotate it inside
the power outlet. It should not rotate or
move on its own.
If the TuneBase is too loose or too
tight in the power outlet, see the
troubleshooting section for instructions
on adjusting
the fit.
Warning: Do not rotate the TuneBase in the
power outlet. If you experience resistance,
unplug the TuneBase and reinsert it in
the desired position. Failure to do so may
damage the cigarette lighter adapter or
power outlet.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CUT
CUT
CUT
SECTIONS12365Table of Cont ents4
Your TuneBase rotates out of position
around the center of the power outlet.
Solution 1
Be sure to solidly attach the cigarette lighter
adapter of the TuneBase to the power outlet.
Test the stability by pushing it sideways
before driving.
Solution 2
In some vehicles, the power outlet is wider
than the cigarette lighter adapter of the
TuneBase. You may notice a wiggle in your
TuneBase when you push it. In that case,
slide the fit ring around the cigarette lighter
adapter of the TuneBase. Then, insert the
cigarette lighter adapter into the power
outlet, making sure that all four prongs of the
fit ring securely fit in the power outlet. If the
fit is too tight, you can cut off one or more of
the prongs on the fit ring and try the fit again
(see Solution 3).
TuneBas e™ Direc t with Hand s-Free
Solution 3
The fit ring may be too large for some cars’
power adapters. Use scissors to carefully
cut as many prongs as you need. Try to fit
your TuneBase into the power outlet after
each cut. When cutting multiple prongs, cut
prongs on opposing sides.
16
TROUBLESHOOTING
SECTIONS12365Table of Cont ents4
Your TuneBase connects firmly to the
power outlet, but it still rotates.
Solution
Check to see if the power outlet rotates in its
socket. If so, please consult your vehicle’s
manufacturer.
You cannot insert the cigarette lighter
adapter into the power outlet.
Solution
The cigarette lighter adapter’s rubber friction
washer may need to be centered. Follow the
steps below to center the friction washer.
1. Use pliers to loosen the nut on the front
of the cigarette lighter adapter slightly. It
is not necessary to remove the nut.
2. Move the friction washer back into
centered position.
3. Tighten the nut firmly.
TuneBas e™ Direc t with Hand s-Free
The rubber friction washer remained in
the power outlet when you removed
your TuneBase.
Solution
This is rare, but if it occurs you can remove
the rubber washer from the power outlet and
place it back on the cigarette lighter adapter.
Warning: Disconnect the vehicle’s
battery. Any attempt to remove the
washer without disconnecting the
battery may result in physical harm to
you or damage to the vehicle.
Use pliers to carefully remove the friction
washer from the power outlet. Place the
friction washer back on the cigarette lighter
adapter. Then, reconnect the vehicle’s
battery.
