Finding Empty Radio Frequencies
If you live in a big city with a lot of radio stations, finding an empty FM frequen-
cy can be tricky. What is an empty frequency? It’s a frequency on your car radio
where you can’t hear a radio station, where there is only static, not even a faint
radio station can be heard. Here are some tips for finding an empty frequency:
• Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to
107.9. Don’t just look to the low end of the dial. There are often empty FM
stations in the 100’s that will work great.
• When using the scan function on your car stereo, if you’re tuner stops on
101 and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range of frequencies for an
empty frequency.
• Try scanning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies - for
example 103.5 to 103.1. You can often find empty frequencies this way. If
that frequency is taken, try scanning to the next station and try again.
• Save a preset station on your radio when you find a frequency that works
well in your area. Then set these presets on your TransPod for different
driving areas (ie. CH01 for home, CH02 for commute, etc). To learn how to
set your presets on your TransPod read

[pg 10].
Tuning Your TransPod
To tune your TransPod, use the triangular tuning buttons on either side of the
LCD display on the front of the TransPod Cradle. Use the right button for tun-
ing up, left button for tuning down.
The TransPod also has 4 preset stations you can try. The default frequencies
for these presets are 88.1, 94.9, 100.9, and 107.9. To cycle through these pre-
sets, press the Preset button on the right side of the TransPod. The LCD will
show which preset number you’re writing to, ie. CH01, CH02, etc, and then the
preset frequency. You can set your own preset when you find frequencies that
work well in your area. To learn how, read
