6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your FM Transmitter, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound or static | FM frequency mismatch; strong local radio signal; low volume on audio device or car radio; loose connection. | Ensure transmitter and car radio are on the exact same clear frequency. Adjust volume on both the audio device and car radio. Check that the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted. |
| Sound distortion, especially with bass | Audio device volume too high; interference; weak signal. | Reduce the volume on your connected audio device slightly below maximum. Try a different, clearer FM frequency. |
| Device does not turn on | Battery is depleted; ON/OFF switch not fully engaged; faulty unit. | Charge the device fully. Ensure the ON/OFF switch is firmly in the 'ON' position. If issues persist after charging, contact support. |
| Device not charging | Faulty Micro USB cable; power source issue; charging port damage. | Try a different Micro USB cable. Ensure the USB power source is functional. Check the charging port for any visible damage. |
