INSTALLATION

1.

Find a suitable location for the
ON/OFF switch. Be sure that it is
within easy reach of the driver
and can be operated safely from
the seated position.

Note: The ON/OFF switch requires a flat surface

at least 3/4” rear clearance. The switch
is provided with 36” of wire. Take this
into account when selecting a location or
you will have to extend the switch wires.

2.

Connect the RCA inputs to the
audio source.

3.

Connect the male antenna
connector to the car radio’s FM
antenna input and the female
connector to the car antenna.

Note: Some vehicles may require antenna

adapters (sold separately).

4.

Connect the BLACK wire to the
chassis ground.

5.

Connect the RED wire to accesso-
ry (+) 12 volt.

Output

Note: Connecting to accessory (+) 12 volt

will ensure that the FM modulator
turns off when the ignition is turned
off. Connecting this wire to (+) 12 volt
constant may cause battery drain
issues and is not recommended.

SET-UP AND TESTING

1.

Set the Frequency Select switch to
88.7 or 89.1 FM. If a local radio
station uses the first frequency
selected, use the other frequency.

2.

Switch the ON/OFF switch to ON
(the “|” position).

3.

Turn on the car radio and tune to
the frequency selected in Step 1. 

4.

Turn on the audio source con-
nected to the FM modulator. This
audio source should now be heard
over the vehicle speaker.

5.

Set the output level control so that
the volume level over the speakers
is the same as when listening to
radio stations. If loud passages
sound distorted, lower the output
level control setting.
