Getting Started

Step 1 - Tune your FM stereo

Locate a frequency that has only static – no talk or music. If you
can’t find a frequency with only static, tune to one that has the
most amount of static and the least amount of talk or music.

Step 2 – Connect InCharge FM to your iPod

Make sure the USB end of the cable is plugged tightly into the car
charger base. Then plug the car charger into your car’s 12V
accessory/cigarette lighter outlet. A blue power indicator will
illuminate on the base indicating a proper connection. Next,
attach the dock connector to your iPhone or iPod.

Step 3 – Tune InCharge FM

Once you connect InCharge FM to your iPod, the unit will activate
and display a digital FM frequency. Use the buttons on the face of
the unit to tune to the same frequency as the one on your FM
stereo. The bottom button tunes down the frequency and the top
button tunes up the frequency. Once the frequency on InCharge
FM matches the one on your car stereo, press play on your iPhone
or iPod and the unit will begin transmitting your music through
your car stereo. Please note that while driving your selected
frequency may fade or experience interference. If the signal
becomes poor or the sound quality drops you should tune to a
different frequency on your FM radio and repeat this step.

Step 4 – Programming and Using Preset Stations

Your InCharge FM offers two preset options for the FM
frequencies that you use most often. To set, tune InCharge FM to
the frequency you wish to select. Hold down either the one dot
button or two dot button on the side of the unit until the
displayed frequency begins to blink and then release. Repeat for
your second preset option. When finished, simply press the
button for the preset you would like to use.

Additional Features

Play/Pause/Next Track Button

InCharge FM includes this convenient button to play/pause the
iPod or advance to the next track without having to access the
touch screen. Press this button once to play/pause your music or
press twice to advance to the next song.

Stereo and Mono Modes

InCharge FM allows you to choose between stereo (LX) and mono
(DX) modes to ensure the clearest signal. Mono produces a
stronger signal and is perfect for using in markets with a
crowded FM dial or while listening to audio books. To switch
between modes, simply slide the switch on the side of the unit.

Trouble Shooting Tips

NO POWER

Check InCharge Connections

Connect the USB end of the cable into the base and press the
base firmly into the 12V accessory outlet.

Check iPod connection

Connect the dock connector end of the cable to the iPod.

NO SOUND

Check FM station

Tune your radio to a frequency that has the most amount of
static and the least amount of talking or music. Tune the display
on InCharge to the same frequency.

Check radio volume

Adjust the volume on the stereo, not on the iPod.

Premiers contacts

1ère étape – Réglage de votre stéréo FM

Localisez une fréquence ne diffusant que du bruit statique (ni
parole, ni musique). Si vous ne parvenez pas à trouver de
fréquence ne diffusant que du bruit statique, réglez la radio sur
la station diffusant la plus grande quantité de bruit statique et le
moins de parole ou de musique possible.

2ème étape – Connexion d’InCharge FM à votre iPod

Assurez-vous que la fiche USB du câble est bien branchée sur la
base du chargeur de voiture. Puis branchez le chargeur de voiture
sur la prise accessoire/allume-cigare 12V de votre véhicule. Un
indicateur d’alimentation bleu s’allume sur la base pour indiquer
que la connexion est établie. Branchez ensuite le connecteur
Dock sur votre iPod.

3ème étape – Réglage d’InCharge FM

Une fois InCharge FM connecté à votre iPod, l’appareil est activé
et affiche une fréquence FM numérique. Utilisez les boutons
situés à l’avant pour régler l’appareil sur la même fréquence que
celle de votre stéréo FM. Utilisez le bouton du bas pour
descendre dans la plage de fréquences et le bouton du haut pour
monter dans cette plage. Une fois que la fréquence affichée sur
InCharge FM correspond à celle de l’appareil stéréo de votre
véhicule, appuyez sur le bouton de lecture de iPod. L’appareil
commence à transmettre votre musique via la stéréo du véhicule.
Veuillez noter qu’en conduisant, il est possible que la fréquence
sélectionnée s’affaiblisse ou rencontre des interférences. Si le
signal devient faible ou que la qualité sonore diminue, réglez la
radio FM sur une autre fréquence et répétez cette étape.

4e étape – Programmation et utilisation des stations prédéfinies

Votre InCharge FM vous offre deux options de préréglage pour les
fréquences FM que vous utilisez le plus. Pour les définir, réglez
InCharge FM sur la fréquence que vous souhaitez sélectionner.
Maintenez enfoncé le bouton à un point ou le bouton à deux
points situé sur le côté de l’appareil jusqu’à ce que la fréquence
