How to Use an FM Transmitter
Find a Clear Frequency
For an FM transmitter to work properly, a clear radio frequency must first be located. A 'clear' radio frequency is one that no commercial/public radio station is broadcasting on, so when the frequency is selected a clear 'static' noise can be heard.
*Note: In built up urban areas (with busy airwaves) it might be more difficult to locate a clear frequency, but generally the upper and lower ends of the FM spectrum, ie around the 88.1 and the 107.9 mark, will have some clear frequencies.
Tune FM transmitter and Radio to the Same Frequency
The FM transmitter's broadcasting frequency needs to be matched to the one on the radio, e.g. they both need to be set to 105.3.
*Some FM transmitters are set to broadcast on one frequency only, but most cover the full FM range.
Adjust the Volume
The volume on the audio device, eg the iPod, needs to be set to approximately 75% loudness. The volume on the radio can be set to whatever you like!
*As with any speaker system, distortion is likely at high volumes
Play your Music
Once the frequency has been selected on the FM transmitter, to get music to play through the FM radio, select a song and press play!
