Using Your mini fm
The mini fm attaches to the top of your iPod mini and adds an FM Radio. The
mini fm also boosts your iPod mini’s volume with its built-in headphone ampli-
fier. Whether your iPod mini is on or off, it conveniently powers the
mini fm.
Changing to FM radio mode will automatically pause whatever track or playlist
is playing on your iPod mini.
Tuning FM Radio Stations
The mini fm has two digital tuning buttons located on the top that let you scroll
up or down the FM radio spectrum. Hold down the tuning buttons for a
moment and the
mini fm will automatically scan to the next available FM station in your area. You may manually tune to any frequency by briefly pressing
the tuning buttons either up or down
NOTE: The mini fm actually uses the wire on your headphones or earbuds as
an antenna, so you must have them plugged into the headphone jack on top of
the unit in order to tune to an FM station.
Switching between FM Radio and iPod mode
The mini fm lets you switch back and forth from iPod mini mode to FM Radio
mode. When you first plug in or turn on your
mini fm, its LCD screen will flash
“dlo” three times and then show either “iPod”, indicating that your
mini fm is
in iPod mode, or an FM frequency like “101.10”, indicating that it is in FM Radio
mode. To switch modes, you simply press the Mode button on the top left side
of the
mini fm.

Volume Control & Headphone Amplifier Usage
The mini fm adds more than just an FM Radio to your iPod mini. The mini fm
has up + and down - volume control buttons located on the top. While in FM
Radio mode, the volume is only controlled by the
mini fm’s + and - buttons.
While in iPod mode, the volume can be amplified using both the iPod scroll volume control and the
mini fm volume buttons.
The Headphone Amplifier built into the mini fm actually boosts the volume on
your iPod mini giving you greater control over the clarity and level of your
music no matter where you are. This extra volume is great for crowded, noisy
areas, mowing the lawn, or just giving your iPod mini an extra volume boost for
certain songs or artists. To use the volume boosting Headphone Amplifier in
the
mini fm, simply listen to your iPod through the attached mini fm and con-
trol the volume with the top based volume controls.
WARNING: Always adjust the volume of your iPod and mini fm to a safe and
comfortable level before putting your headphones or earbuds in your ears.
The maximum iPod mini volume is increased considerably when you use the
mini fm volume to amplify the iPod mini. Permanent hearing loss may occur if
your headphones or earbuds are used at high volume for a long period of time.
If you experience discomfort or ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your iPod and
mini fm immediately.

Controlling the Power of your iPod mini with the mini fm
The mini fm gives you a handy way to power your iPod mini off and on. To turn
your iPod mini off using your
mini fm, hold down the Mode button on the top
left side of the
mini fm for two seconds. Your iPod mini and mini fm will both
power off.
To turn both your iPod mini and
mini fm back on, press the Mode button once
again and your iPod mini will return to the exact state it was in when it was
turned off. It will even resume playback from the same spot.
