Attention and Safety

Important considerations for using the FM transmitter:

• Please use the recommended voltage range: 12 Volts or 24 Volts. Using voltage outside this range may affect the transmitter's performance or potentially damage the product.
• Avoid plugging the unit into your 12-Volt port before starting your vehicle or immediately after using the cigarette lighter socket, as this sequence may damage the unit.
• It is advised to disconnect the transmitter from your 12-Volt port after each use.
• It is recommended to use your car's speaker volume control. Setting the FM transmitter's volume too high may result in static or distorted music quality.
• To ensure optimal sound quality, avoid selecting channels that are actively used by strong local radio stations, as this may cause interference.
• If you are not hearing music, please verify that the frequency on the FM transmitter is tuned to the same frequency as your vehicle radio. Also, ensure that the volume on your vehicle radio is turned up.
• Warning: Listening to audio at high volumes for extended periods can lead to permanent hearing loss.
