Using Your TransDock
Setting Up Your TransDock Deluxe
1. Connect the Charger Arm to the TransDock Deluxe Cradle.
Insert the flat side of the Charger Arm into the back of the TransDock Deluxe Cradle
body and turn 90 degrees clockwise to lock it into place. Do not use the included
Extension Arm until you have determined that you’ll need it to fit TransDock Deluxe
into your car. Most cars will do fine with just the shorter Charger Arm.
2. Adjust your TransDock Deluxe to fit into your auto power outlet and plug it in.
Loosen the Charger Arm knobs to adjust the angle of the TransDock Deluxe for the
best placement and access to your iPod. Adjusting the arm angles is easier when the
TransDock Deluxe is not plugged into the auto power outlet. When you’ve found a good
fit, tighten the knobs back up and then plug the TransDock Deluxe into your auto
power outlet. If you have trouble finding a comfortable position for the TransDock
Deluxe, or it happens to block controls in your car, use the TransDock Deluxe
Extension Arm to achieve a more ideal position.
3. Secure your TransDock Deluxe Remote Control to your car’s steering wheel using the
included Steering Wheel Cradle and Velcro Strap.
You can position the steering wheel cradle anywhere you want on the wheel, but along
the inside of the wheel nearest your thumb works best.
4. Tune your car stereo to 88.5 FM.
This is the initial broadcast frequency for the TransDock Deluxe. If your TransDock
Deluxe is already plugged in, you should hear silence. If 88.5 is not an empty frequency
in your area (i.e. there is music or talk already on that station in your area) you may

About the DLO TransDock
The TransDock Deluxe is a “mini” radio transmitter that broadcasts your iPod or iPod
nano’s audio through the FM radio in your car, truck, boat – anything that has a 12v auto
power outlet. It charges the battery in your iPod while cradling it for easy access in your
car. The TransDock Deluxe includes a powerful RF remote control that easily attaches to
your steering wheel so you can control your iPod’s playback and navigation without taking
your eyes off the road. It features a USB port on the bottom so you can charge devices
such as cell phones, PDA or gaming systems using the proper cable. You can also broad-
cast audio from all kinds of digital devices over your car stereo with the convenient Aux-
In Port. If that’s not enough, the TransDock Deluxe features an AV-Out Port so you can
watch iPod videos over a portable video system in a car or van.
