DLO TuneStik Quick Start  
Thank you for your purchase of the DLO TuneStik FM Transmitter & RF Remote  
for iPod. TuneStik is way more than just an FM Transmitter for your car. It’s a  
multipurpose iPod tool that can help you enjoy your music in a variety of new  
ways. A few suggestions:  
We’ll get you up and running in 5 easy steps:  
STEP 1 Connect the TuneStik FM  
Transmitter to your iPod dock connector.

Use TuneStik to play your iPod not only in your car, but at a friend’s house, a  
hotel room, a rental car, a boombox - anywhere there’s an FM radio you have  
a set of speakers for your iPod.

STEP 2 Secure the TuneStik Control to  
your car’s steering wheel.  
MENU  
The TuneStik Remote can be used totally separately from its FM transmitter  
function. So if you use a cassette adapter/AUX Input in a car, or you hook your  
iPod to your stereo with a cable at home, you can still use TuneStik’s high pow-  
ered RF remote to control your iPod from afar.  
STEP 3 Tune your car stereo to 88.5 FM.  
STEP 4 Power on your iPod and select a  
playlist, album or artist.

or just the FM transmitter. TuneStik is very versatile iPod accessory when you  
consider all the different options it provides.

If your TuneStik is connected and your iPod is not playing, you should hear silence.  
If 88.5, or one of the other presets (88.1, 94.9 and 107.9) is not an empty frequency  
in your area (i.e., there is music or talk already on that station) you may hear static.  
Try finding another station with less interference. For help doing this, please see  
Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg. 12].  
The TuneStik is a “mini” radio transmitter that broadcasts your iPod audio through  
the FM radio in your car. The TuneStik features a powerful RF Remote Control that  
easily attaches to your steering wheel so you can control your iPod playback and  
navigation without taking your hands off the wheel. It can also be used to play your  
iPod at home, in a hotel, at a friend’s house – anywhere there’s an FM radio nearby.

To set another preset, press the Frequency Button twice to get to the next open chan-  
nel on your TuneStik, then tune to the desired frequency using the +/- Buttons. Press  
the Play/Pause Button to exit Frequency Mode, or simply wait to set this frequency as  
your new preset. Repeat this process for up to four total presets.  
Tuning Your TuneStik  
Press the Frequency Button on the TuneStik Control. The red light on the top of the  
remote will flash, and your iPod will display “Ok to disconnect” followed by “CH 1  
88.5” (the default broadcast frequency for your TuneStik). This places the TuneStik  
Control in Frequency Mode.  
You can also turn the FM transmitter completely off by cycling past all 4 presets to the  
OFF Setting. Then press the Play/Pause Button or wait a few moments to apply. To  
turn the FM Transmitter back on, repeat these steps but stop at a Preset instead.  
You are now able to change the frequency of your TuneStik to match the station on  
your car stereo. To do this, simply press the Frequency Button to enter Frequency  
Mode and tune up or down using the TuneStik Control’s +/- Buttons. Your iPod will  
display the frequency to which your TuneStik is broadcasting.  
Switching between Monaural and Stereo Mode  
NOTE: Your TuneStik Control will allow you to tune the FM Transmitter in  
Frequency Mode as long as you need to before reverting back to Primary Mode  
after 10 seconds of inactivity.  
With the DLO TuneStik you have the choice of transmitting in either Monaural or  
Stereo Mode. Choose between the two based on what type of audio you’re playing and  
what sounds best to your ears.  
Monaural Mode allows for much better transmitter performance and is also useful for  
listening to audiobooks and most podcasts. Use Stereo Mode when you have a clear  
empty signal to broadcast to, and for best sonic musical performance. If the static  
increases or you move to a crowded FM radio area, try Monaural Mode for the  
strongest Transmitter signal strength possible.  
Setting a Preset Frequency  
You can set up to 4 preset stations when you find frequencies that work well in your  
area. When you’ve found the station you’d like to keep, tune your TuneStik’s fre-  
quency to that station (displayed on your iPod after you’ve pressed the Frequency  
Button). Next, press the Play/Pause Button to set your preset and exit Frequency  
Mode, or simply leave the TuneStik on that particular frequency (after a few sec-  
onds, your TuneStik Control will revert to Primary Mode).  
To switch between Monaural Mode and Stereo Mode press the Frequency Button, then  
press the Backlight Button to toggle between Monaural Mode and Stereo Mode. Your  
iPod will display 00 to indicate Monaural Mode and 88 to indicate Stereo Mode.

Controlling the TuneStik FM Transmitter Volume  
Finding Empty Radio Frequencies  
The TuneStik Control features +/- Buttons that control the TuneStik FM  
Transmitter’s volume or “response.” While the +/- Buttons are a good way to con-  
trol the volume, we recommend you adjust your TuneStik’s volume for best per-  
formance, and then control the overall “loudness” with your car stereo.  
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 and not even a faint radio station can be  
heard. If you live in a big city with a lot of radio stations, finding an empty FM fre-  
quency can be tricky.  
Certain levels of transmitter volume are better for different kinds of music, be sure  
to set the transmitter volume at the level that best suits your music. For instance, a  
classical song may require more transmitter volume than say, a metal song. Once  
you’ve found an appropriate transmitter volume level, use your car’s stereo con-  
trols to manipulate overall volume and EQ settings.  
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, because there are often empty FM  
stations in the 100’s that will work great.  
• When using the scan function on your car stereo, if your tuner stops on 101  
and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range of frequencies for an empty fre-  
quency.  
Using with a Cassette Adapter or Your Car’s MP3 Audio Jack  
Even if you’re not using your TuneStik as an FM transmitter, it is a perfect way to  
control your iPod from the steering wheel when using a cassette adapter or MP3  
audio jack. First, connect the TuneStik FM Transmitter to your iPod. Then connect a  
cassette adapter or your car’s MP3 audio jack to your iPod via the iPod headphone  
jack. Now you can control your iPod without taking your hands off the wheel.  
• 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, scan 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, and set that frequency as a preset on your TuneStik.

Tips + Troubleshooting  
My iPod is not responding to my TuneStik.  
Using with a Home Stereo or Other FM Radio  
Reset your iPod by toggling the Hold Switch on and then off again. Then press and  
hold the Menu and Select Buttons until the Apple logo appears (6 to 10 seconds).  
You may need to repeat this step. If this does not work, you can reset the TuneStik  
by pressing the Previous Track, Next Track, and the +/- Buttons simultaneously for  
6 to 10 seconds.  
You can use the TuneStik as a remote control for your iPod with any home stereo  
or speaker system. With the TuneStik FM Transmitter connected to your iPod, sim-  
ply connect your iPod to your stereo via the headphone jack.  
The TuneStik works anywhere you have an FM radio handy. The powerful RF  
Remote will let you control your iPod music from up to 75 feet away, so it’s perfect  
for hotel rooms, portable speakers or your hi-fi stereo at home.  
I’m having trouble finding an empty FM frequency in my area.  
Be sure to look in the 100’s, not just in the 80’s or 90’s. Try scanning to a strong  
station, then back down two frequencies - for example 103.5 to 103.1. If that fre-  
quency is taken, try scanning to the next strong station and repeat. For more infor-  
mation read the Finding Empty Radio Frequencies [pg. 12].  
Using with an iPod Auto Charger or Wall Charger  
The TuneStik also features a pass-through dock connector on the bottom of the  
TuneStik FM Transmitter that lets you simultaneously charge your iPod while  
enjoying your music. Any standard iPod charging cable, including auto chargers and  
wall chargers, will work with the TuneStik. This is important because the TuneStik  
FM Transmitter runs off iPod power. Plus, you’ll never have to unplug the TuneStik  
FM Transmitter to recharge your iPod on those long road trips.  
My music is playing but there seems to be a lot of static.  
First, check that you have found an empty frequency. Unplug the TuneStik FM  
Transmitter to see if there might be a radio station interfering. If so, try another  
frequency. Also, if you are using the TuneStik while connected to an Auto Charger,  
please note that some iPod car chargers are not shielded properly and may cause  
interference from your car’s electrical system which affects the sound quality of  
your TuneStik’s FM transmission. Be sure to purchase a DLO Autocharger or one  
of similar quality to ensure proper performance.  
NOTE: Some iPod auto chargers are not shielded properly which may cause inter-  
ference from your car’s electrical system and affect the sound quality of your  
TuneStik. Be sure to purchase a DLO Auto Charger or one of similar quality to  
ensure proper performance.

Tech Specs  
TRANSMITTER  
My TuneStik Control keeps reverting to the main playback controls, and  
I can’t find my desired frequency.

Remember, when in Frequency Mode, your TuneStik Control will revert back to its  
Primary Mode after 10 seconds of inactivity. At that time, the station you were  
tuned to will become a new preset on your TuneStik. However, your TuneStik  
Control will allow you to tune the TuneStik FM Transmitter before reverting back to  
Primary Mode as long as there has not been more than 10 seconds of inactivity (i.e.  
pressing a button on the remote).  
Antenna: Built-in  
Power requirement: iPod connection

My radio will only scan to occupied FM stations.  
Many car radios default to scan mode for tuning, so they automatically tune to a  
radio station. Most of these radios can be switched to manual tuning (consult your  
car or stereo manual on how to do this). You can also “find” your TuneStik’s fre-  
quency by scanning to it. Most likely, your car stereo’s scan function will automati-  
cally find the TuneStik.
