About TransDock micro II FM Transmitter

TransDock micro II is basically a mini radio station that broadcasts your iPod music to
the FM radio in your car, while charging the battery in your iPod at the same time.
TransDock micro II has two Tuning Buttons on either side, so you can tune to any
frequency from 88.1 to 107.9. It comes with four preset stations, so you can set it to the
frequencies you use most.

Setting Up Your TransDock micro II

1. Turn on your car radio and set it to FM radio mode.

2. Slip the Fit Collar onto your TransDock micro II to ensure a secure fit in your car’s
cigarette lighter or 12v power outlet.

3. If you want to change the angle of your TransDock micro II for the easiest access,
loosen the Adjustment Screws and adjust TransDock micro II to the best position.
NOTE: It may help to remove TransDock micro II when you do this. Unplug TransDock
micro II, adjust and plug back in.

4. Plug the Connector Cable into the 30-pin connector end of the cable into your iPod.

5. Find an FM frequency with no signal or radio station. For more help with this, please
read Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg 8].

6. Match the FM frequency on your TransDock micro II with the empty FM station on
your radio using the Tuning Buttons on TransDock micro II (Right Button for tuning up,
Left Button for tuning down). Most of the static will go away. Now your radio has found
TransDock micro II’s signal.

7.To control the overall volume of your music while using TransDock micro II, use the
car radio’s volume control, not the iPod volume.
iPod nano users: Your iPod nano is light enough that you can attach it to your dashboard
for super easy access. TransDock micro II comes with Velcro tabs for mounting your
iPod nano on the dash while using your TransDock micro II.
