1. The display will then show the pre-set radio frequency. From now on, the display will show the last used frequency when you connect it to power.

2. Insert your iPod into the RoadTrip (see Preparing the iPod).

3. Turn on your radio, reduce the volume to 10-20%, and tune the radio to a frequency that’s not being used. The ideal frequency will have nothing but static – no music or talk – and it’s even better if the surrounding frequencies are unused also.

4. Adjust the Transmitter to the same frequency you selected on your radio. When the Transmitter and the radio are set to the same frequency, the radio will mute and you won’t hear static.
