• Make sure the frequency you’ve tuned to is empty and not near a strong station. A
good place to start is channel 88.5, which is the initial frequency on the TransDock
Deluxe and is often an open station.
• The TransDock Deluxe will tune to any radio frequency, from 88.1 to 107.9, so try the
entire spectrum until you find an unoccupied channel. To learn more see

Empty Radio Frequencies [pg.14]
.
• Be sure to manage your music’s volume, bass and treble settings using your car
stereo’s controls.
Using TransDock Deluxe with a Cassette Adapter or Auxiliary Audio Input
The TransDock Deluxe can be connected to your car stereo with a cassette adapter or a
mini-plug cable for cars with auxiliary input jacks. This is great because your TransDock
Deluxe will still cradle and charge your iPod, and it will provide access to the superior
line-out signal from the iPod dock directly to your cassette adapter or car input.
The output for these applications is located on the bottom of the TransDock Deluxe. Just
plug your cassette adapter or mini cable into the AV-Out Port on your TransDock Deluxe,
then insert your cassette adapter or mini plug directly into your car stereo.
Using the TransDock Deluxe with Other MP3 Players or Devices
The TransDock Deluxe will also transmit the music from other devices like MP3 players,
portable game devices, portable DVDs, etc. To do this, just plug your audio device into the

when not in use for 1 minute, i.e. when no player or device is attached. This feature is
ideal for owners of cars that do not turn their auto power outlets off. TransDock Deluxe
will turn itself off – and protect your battery for you.
To manually power down the TransDock Deluxe, hold the
Mode Button
down for several
seconds. This will completely turn off the TransDock Deluxe until you manually turn it on
again or it automatically turns on as described above. To manually turn TransDock Deluxe
back on while off, press and hold the

Getting the Best Sound Quality with Your DLO TransDock Deluxe
• It is very important that you set your iPod’s EQ to Off and you adjust your car’s Bass
and Treble controls to 0 to get the best initial performance from TransDock. Then,
you can experiment with adding Bass and Treble to your desired preference, but we
highly recommend that you start with everything at 0.
• The TransDock features a Level Adjust setting that allows you to tailor the response
of the unit to best match the type of audio source or music content you are listening
to. Press the
