iTrip Auto with SmartScan makes playing your iPod on your car stereo easier than ever. Here’s how to make it happen:

SmartScan for Clear Frequencies

1.

Press FUNCTION —> SCAN

SmartScan scans all available FM frequencies and saves the 3 clearest

frequencies to iTrip’s 3 presets. SmartScan takes about 25 seconds to

complete the process, then automatically chooses the clearest frequency

and displays it on iTrip’s high-contrast OLED display.

In areas with numerous overlapping radio stations, you may need to switch frequencies to get the best possible sound, depending on your location. Here’s how:

Using the presets

1. Press FUNCTION—>PRESET

Select any of the three saved presets.

(iTrip will exit this menu automatically

after about 3 seconds.)

2.

Tune your car’s FM radio to the new

frequency displayed on iTrip’s screen.

Tuning Manually

Manual tuning is a reverse of the SmartScan

process; you tune your car stereo first, then

adjust iTrip to match that frequency.

1. On your car’s FM radio, select a frequency

on which you hear nothing but static. The

ideal choice would have nothing on either

of the neighboring frequencies, so listen

for 3 in a row with static and select the

middle frequency.

2.

Press + or – to set iTrip to match that

frequency. Press the + or – and hold to

move through the frequencies quickly.

Setting your own presets

Do you have a long commute that has you hunting

frequencies as radio stations fade in and out of range?

Or are you a long-time iTrip user who already knows

the perfect three frequencies? Either way, iTrip lets

you set your own presets for quick recall.

1 1.

Tune your iTrip to the desired frequency.

2.

Press FUNCTION—>PRESET

(iTrip will automatically exit this menu

after about 3 seconds.)

3.

Press and hold PRESET 1, PRESET 2 or

PRESET 3 for 2 seconds. Screen blinks

once and the selected PRESET button lights

to indicate that it is stored successfully.

Troubleshooting

Problems? No problem. Check these tips for a quick fix:

FM Radio

1. On?

2. Tuned to unused frequency?

3. Radio volume adjusted?

iTrip

1. Has iTrip gone in low power mode? iTrip goes in a

power-saver mode after an extended period of no music.

To get the music going again, just press Play on your iPod,

or disconnect and reconnect iTrip to your iPod.

2. iTrip and radio frequencies match?

iPod

1. Hold switch on?

2. Play button depressed?

3. Battery completely drained? If so, your iPod must

recharge for a few short minutes before so your iPod

will sense a constant current and power up.

Fuses

1. Car's Cigarette Lighter fuse good? (Consult your car's

owners manual for fuse locations and specifications)

2. iTrip Auto's fuse blown? Check the replaceable fuse located

near the front of the unit. An automotive blade-type mini

fuse (sometimes called an ATM fuse) rated at 2 Amps can

be obtained at most auto or hardware supply stores.

Problem's not solved? No problem.
