2. Press the ClearScan button on top of product to find an FM frequency that’s
clear.*

3. Store that frequency in memory by pressing and holding one of the two MEM
buttons. When the frequency is stored successfully, the product will beep and
MEMORY 1 or MEMORY 2 will show on the display.

4. Turn on your car stereo and set the input source to FM.

5. Tune your car stereo so that its FM frequency matches the CarAudio Connect
FM.

6. If possible, store the frequency in one of your car stereo’s preset buttons.
Typically this is done by pressing and holding the chosen preset button until the
stereo beeps or gives some indication that the frequency has been stored.

*If you hear static as you travel from one part of town to another, press the
ClearScan button again to find a better frequency.

Pairing Your Phone

The term pairing describes the first meeting between two Bluetooth devices. They
exchange security information so they know the connection is approved.

1. On the back of the CarAudio Connect FM, there is a small button. Press it for
roughly 1 second. The light ring on the front of the product will blink orange.

2. On your phone, go to the Bluetooth settings menu.

3. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.

4. On some phones, you may need to tell your phone to search for new Bluetooth
connections.

5. Select the CarAudio Connect FM from the list of accessories.

6. Some phones may ask if you want to connect. Select “Yes.”

7. If asked for a password on your phone, enter four zeros: 0000.

8. When paired successfully, the light ring will turn solid blue.

Note: You should only have to pair your phone once. To connect your phone to the
CarAudio Connect FM in daily use, just tap the multifunction button once. When the
light ring turns blue, you are connected.

Pairing with a different phone:
You can pair other Bluetooth phones or music players by repeating the steps above with
a different device.

If two already-paired phones are in the car at the same time, tapping the multifunction
button will tell the CarAudio Connect FM to connect to the phone to which it was last
connected. If you do not want to connect to that phone, turn Bluetooth off on that phone
only.

Placing the Mounting Disc

1. Find a smooth and flat surface on the dashboard in front of you that is within
easy reach but will not interfere with driving. The CarAudio Connect FM has a
built-in microphone and should be as directly in front of you as possible. See
image for some recommended areas:

2. Clean the surface with an alcohol swab if possible, or with a cleaner that can
remove any residue from polish/shine products that have been sprayed on the
dash in the past. Please make sure to read all instructions on the cleaner to
make sure it is safe to use on dashboards.

3. Peel away the back of the mounting disc to expose the adhesive and stick it to
the dashboard.

Attach the CarAudio Connect FM

The CarAudio Connect FM will magnetically attach to the mounting disc. The product
can be easily removed and stored when not in use.

Daily Use
Connecting

To connect to the CarAudio Connect FM:

1. If you’re already on a call or listening to music via a Bluetooth headset, turn the
headset off so that your phone is free to connect to the CarAudio Connect FM.

2. Make sure there’s power to the CarAudio Connect FM—the light ring will be
orange.

3. Turn on your car stereo, set the source to FM, and match the frequency shown
on the CarAudio Connect FM.

4. Tap the button and the CarAudio Connect FM will attempt to re-connect with the
same phone to which it last connected.

5. When successfully connected, the light ring will turn blue.

6. If you’re already on a call or listening to music, the audio will transfer to your car
speakers.

Note: If you don’t tap the button to connect your phone, the light in the button will
stay orange. After 10 minutes of inactivity, the CarAudio Connect FM will go into
sleep mode and the light ring will turn off. When that happens, tap the button to
wake it and it will immediately attempt to connect to the same phone to which it last
connected.
