Introduction

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the innovative TuneBase
from Belkin.
This product is designed to mount, stabilize, charge, and power your
iPod mini as you drive. Please review this User Manual carefully so
that you can be sure you’ll get the most from your iPod mini, virtually
anywhere you go.

Setup instructions

1. Turn your car stereo volume down.

2. Connect the Belkin TuneBase to your cigarette lighter adapter in

your car. The LED on the TuneBase indicates proper connection.

Warning: Avoid excessive force when rotating the connector in the cigarette
lighter adapter. If you encounter resistance, unplug the connector from the
outlet and reinsert it in the desired position. Failure to do so may result in
damage to the car’s cigarette lighter adapter or power outlet.

NOTE: The exact dimensions of power outlets vary by make and model
of the car. In some cases, the fit might be improved by pressing the collar
(included with the product) into the power outlet before inserting the
connector in order to ensure a tight fit. However, the collar will not be
necessary in most cars (and will not fit in the power outlet).

En

3. Bend and position the

flexible-steel neck to a
desired position for your
iPod mini.

4. Carefully slide your iPod

mini into the form-fitted
cradle at the top of the
TuneBase. The iPod mini
will power on if the car
battery is on. The iPod
mini will go into sleep
mode if power is removed
from the cigarette lighter
or the car is turned off.

Troubleshooting

My iPod does not seem to be charging.
Solution

1

Please make sure that the TuneBase is connected to the power outlet
of the car correctly. The green indicator light on the cigarette lighter
adapter portion of the product should be lit up at all times.

Solution

2

Please make sure that the iPod is pushed all the way into the cradle.

Solution

3

Please make sure that the power outlet of your car is provided with
power. Some cars do not provide power to the power outlet unless
the car is in ignition mode or the engine is started. In case all previous
solutions did not solve the problem the fuse of the TuneBase might
be burned. In order to exchange the fuse, please follow these steps
carefully:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THIS IN THE CAR.
Please use a clean table for disassembly so that components do not
get lost. The contact piece at the front end of the cigarette lighter
adapter is spring loaded. Carefully remove the nut at the front end with
pliers. Remove it slowly so that the spring inside the cigarette lighter
adapter does not get lost. The fuse will be easily accessible now. Please
exchange for a new one available at any car supply store. Please refer to
Fig. B for correct order of assembly. Make sure to tighten the nut firmly
with pliers.

The TuneBase and iPod are in the way of
my car’s controls.
Solution

1

The TuneBase has been designed to be
easily positioned in a wide variety of
orientations in the car. Please use the
gooseneck and the articulation behind the
docking cradle to position it away from
any controls of the car. Please make sure
to position the gooseneck in as close to an
upright position from the CLA as possible
(Fig. A).

Troubleshooting

The Tunebase rotates out of position around the center of the power
outlet.
Solution

1

Please make sure to solidly attach the cigarette lighter adapter portion
of the product in the power outlet. Test the stability by pushing the
product sideways before driving.

Solution

2

In some cars, the power outlet is bigger in diameter than the cigarette
lighter adapter. You will notice a wiggle in the TuneBase when pushing
it. In that case, please use the collar provided to decrease any play. Fit
the collar around the cigarette lighter adapter of the TuneBase first and
then attach the cigarette lighter adapter in the power outlet. Slide the
collar into the power outlet making sure that all four protrusions fit into
the power outlet.

Solution

3

Some power outlets will not fit all four protrusions of the collar.

In order

to improve the fit of the cigarette lighter adapter in the power outlet of
the car the collar can be cut to size. In order to do so please cut as many
protrusions as necessary with scissors.

Cut one by one always trying the
fit again in the power outlet after each cut. Cut the protrusions from
one side to the other, not the opposites

(Fig. C).

The TuneBase connects firmly to the power outlet of my car but the
TuneBase still rotates.
Solution

Please see if the power outlet of your car rotates in its socket. If so,
please consult your car manufacturer.

Test

fit in power outlet after each cut!

Troubleshooting

The rubber friction washer is out of position and I cannot insert the
cigarette lighter adapter into the car’s power outlet.
Solution

Please use a clean and empty table for disassembly. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO DO THIS IN THE CAR. Please use pliers to loosen the nut at the end of
the cigarette lighter adapter slightly. It is not necessary to unscrew the
entire nut. Move the friction washer back into centered position. Use
pliers to tighten the nut firmly.

I pulled the TuneBase out of the power outlet of my car but the rubber
washer slipped off and remained in the power outlet.
Solution

In some rare cases the specific make up ot the power outlet may cause
the friction washer to get stuck in the power outlet and potentially slip
off the cigarette lighter adapter.
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY OF YOUR CAR BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
REMOVE THE WASHER! ANY ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE WASHER
WITHOUT DISCONNETING THE BATTERY MAY RESULT IN PHYSICAL
HARM OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR.

Use pliers to carefully remove the friction washer from the power outlet.

Warning:

The TuneBase/ TuneBase FM requires full concentration and bothhands
to install. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THE PRODUCT WHILE DRIVING.
Please make sure the product securely and firmly fits into the power
outlet of the car before driving. After installation, ensure that the
TuneBase does not freely rotate in the power outlet of the car by
following the instructions in the user manual. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO

ADJUST OR RETRIVE AN UNSECURED TUNEBASE OR IPOD WHILE DRIVING.

Adjust the TuneBase so that both the TuneBase and the iPod do not
interfere with any of the operating controls of the car.

DO NOT INSERT ANY OBJECTS OTHER THAN THE CIGARETTE
LIGHTER ADAPTER INTO THE POWER OUTLET OF THE CAR WITHOUT
DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OF THE CAR FIRST. FAILURE TO OBSERVE
THIS SAFETY WARNING CAN RESULT IN POSSIBLE INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.

Belkin does not assume any responsibility for personal injury or
property damage incurred due to hazardous driving as a result of

Introduction

Félicitations et merci d’avoir choisi le Cordon d’alimentation pour la
voiture TuneBase (le TuneBase) de Belkin.
Ce produit vous permet de positionner, alimenter et recharger votre
iPod mini, tout en conduisant. Veuillez prendre connaissance de la
totalité de ce manuel, afin de tirer le meilleur de votre iPod mini, où que
vous soyez.

Instructions de mise en route

1. Baissez le son de votre autoradio.

2. Branchez le TuneBase de Belkin dans l’allume-cigare de votre voiture.

Le témoin lumineux du TuneBase indique si le raccordement est
bon.

Avertissement : N’employez pas une force excessive lorsque vous pivotez
le connecteur dans l’allume-cigare. Si vous rencontrez une résistance,
débranchez le connecteur de la prise et réinsérez-le dans la position désirée.
Si vous ne le faites pas, vous risquez d’endommager gravement l’adaptateur
ou l’allume-cigare.

REMARQUE : Les dimensions des allume-cigares peuvent varier selon la
marque ou le modèle de la voiture. En fonction de ces variations et pour un
meilleur ajustement, il se peut que vous deviez utiliser la rondelle fournie et
l’insérer dans l’allume-cigare avant d’y insérer le connecteur. Cependant, il
n’est pas nécessaire d’utiliser la rondelle avec la plupart des allume-cigares.
Autrement, elle ne conviendra pas à la prise.

Fr

3. Courbez et positionnez la

tige métallique flexible tel
que désiré.

4. Glissez doucement votre

iPod mini dans le support
moulé qui se trouve en
haut du TuneBase. Le
iPod mini s’allume si la
voiture est en marche. Le
iPod mini passe en mode
veille si vous retirez le
connecteur de l’allume­cigare ou si la voiture est
éteinte.

Dépannage

Mon iPod ne semble pas être rechargé.
Solution 1

Assurez-vous que le TuneBase est correctement branché à la prise
allume-cigare de votre voiture. Le témoin vert de l’adaptateur pour
prise allume-cigare doit être allumé en tout temps.

Solution 2

Assurez-vous que votre iPod est bien enfoncé dans le support.

Solution 3

Assurez-vous que l’allume-cigare de votre voiture est bel et bien
alimenté.

Certaines voitures n’alimentent pas la prise si la voiture est en
mode d’allumage ou si le moteur est en cours de démarrage.
Si les précédentes solutions n’ont pas solutionné le problème, le fusible
du TuneBase est probablement brûlé. Pour changer le fusible, veuillez
suivre attentivement les instructions qui suivent :

NE FAITES PAS CES MANIPULATIONS DANS LA VOITURE.
Veuillez utiliser une table peu encombrée pour désassembler
l’unité, afin de ne pas perdre de pièces. La pièce de contact à l’avant
de l’adaptateur pour allume-cigare possède un ressort. Retirez
délicatement l’écrou à l’aide de pinces. Retirez-le doucement, pour
éviter de perdre le ressort de l’adaptateur pour prise allume-cigare.
Vous avez maintenant un accès facile au fusible. Veuillez changer
celui-ci pour un nouveau fusible, que vous trouverez en quincaillerie.
Consultez la Fig. B pour connaître l’ordre d’assemblage. Assurez-vous
d’avoir serré l’écrou fermement à l’aide de pinces.

Le TuneBase et l’iPod m’empêchent
d’accéder aux commandes du tableau de
bord de ma voiture
Solution 1

Le TuneBase a été conçu pour être placé à
différents endroits dans votre voiture.
Utilisez le col et l’articulation derrière le
support pour éloigner le TuneBase des
commandes de votre voiture.
Assurez-vous de positionner le col dans
une position aussi rapprochée de l’allume­cigare que possible. A).
