Setting Memory Presets

**Range determined by product specifications and other environmental variables
Using AutoScan Automatic
FM Frequency Selection
(recommended)
The iCarPlay Wireless 200 features AutoScan
to automatically find the best, clearest FM channel
in your local area. The process takes about a minute.
Remember that as you drive through different areas
the FM signal conditions change, so when driving
long distances, you can repeat the AutoScan selection
whenever FM interference occurs.
1. Press TWICE on the “S” button. (This will also stop
music playback on the iPod.)
2. Press the Right or Left button to highlight AutoScan
and press the “S” button to select.
3. AutoScan will begin searching through the entire
FM range to find the best frequency. This may take
up to 1 minute. Then iCarPlay Wireless 200 will
automatically select the best frequency and display
it on the iPod screen. NOTE: After a few seconds
the iPod will return to its regular menu,
so it’s important to note the AutoScan
selected frequency while it’s shown.
4. Tune your FM radio to the same channel.
AutoScan Shortcut
To use AutoScan without selecting from menu,
simply hold the “S” button until it says “scanning”
International Use
iCarPlay Wireless 200 works with FM radio systems
worldwide. To select a different tuning system:
1. Press the “S” button THREE TIMES. (This will
stop music playback on the iPod.)
2. Press the Right or Left to select the desired
International Mode.

light may go out before you’re finished making

To ensure uninterrupted iPod screen viewing
during setup and FM frequency selection,
please set the backlight timer properties
on the iPod settings menu to your preference
while using iCarPlay Wireless 200.

MONSTER SAFETY TIP
Connecting and/or setting iCarPlay Wireless 200 while driving
may cause serious injury and/or death. Drive responsibly—
connect and set iCarPlay Wireless 200 BEFORE operating your
vehicle and pay attention to the road while driving.
Performance & Safety Tips:
• Connect iCarPlay™ Wireless 200 and select
channels BEFORE operating your vehicle;
never while driving.
• For best performance, select an iCarPlay
Wireless 200 channel that is not occupied
by a strong local FM radio station.
• Select the channel that offers clearest sound
with the least interference. AutoScan can find
this channel automatically. Remember that
signal conditions change as your car moves,
and re-scanning may be necessary.
• The iCarPlay Wireless 200 transmitter
strength is regulated and limited by the FCC.
iCarPlay Wireless 200 transmits at the power
allowable by law.
• iCarPlay Wireless 200 is designed
to transmit within your car’s perimeter
while not interfering with the surrounding
public airwaves.
• Certain car radios may experience more
difficulty receiving clear signals than others.
Location of the antenna can affect signal
strength. Some vehicles have a metallic film
in the windows that can also make it harder
to receive clear signals from the iCarPlay
Wireless 200.
• In dense metropolitan areas, there are cases
where all iCarPlay Wireless 200 pre-set
stations are occupied by local radio stations.
Sometimes a station setting next to a local
station may be strong enough to ‘bleed’ over
to the adjacent frequencies. Use manual
tuning to eliminate interference.
• Radio frequencies from local stations can
‘bounce’ from hills and buildings and may
cause momentary interference.
• A steel bridge or parking garage may act like
an antenna, strengthening local and distant
radio station signals. You may need to wait
until you are “over the bridge” or “out
of the structure” for clearest reception.
