Operating Instructions

Playing Audio:

1. Ensure the adapter is properly connected to your audio device and inserted into the car's cassette deck.
2. Start playing audio (music, podcast, etc.) on your connected device.
3. Adjust the volume on both your audio device and your car stereo to achieve the desired sound level.

Using the Hands-Free Microphone:

• When a call comes in, the audio playback will typically pause.
• Use the controls on the cable (if available on your specific model) to answer or end calls.
• Speak clearly towards the built-in microphone for effective communication.

Retracting the Cable:

To retract the cable for storage, gently pull both ends of the cable simultaneously until it locks into place, then release to allow it to retract smoothly into the housing. Avoid pulling only one side to prevent tangling.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the adapter and cable with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, retract the cable completely and store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: Avoid excessive pulling or bending of the cable, especially near the connectors, to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

No Sound or Poor Audio Quality:

• Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into your audio device.
• Verify that the cassette adapter is correctly inserted into the car's cassette deck and the car stereo is set to 'Tape' mode.
• Check the volume levels on both your audio device and the car stereo.
• Test with a different audio device to rule out issues with the source.
• Ensure the cassette adapter is inserted with the correct orientation ('this side up').

Microphone Not Working:

• Confirm that your audio device recognizes the microphone input.
• Ensure the microphone is not obstructed.
• Test the microphone functionality with another application or device if possible.

Cable Not Retracting Properly:

• Gently pull both ends of the cable simultaneously to reset the retraction mechanism, then release.
• Avoid forcing the cable. If it remains stuck, do not attempt to disassemble the unit.
