Playing Audio Through Your Vehicle Speakers
Playing Audio
Through Your Vehicle
Speakers
Check local laws before using the FM
transmitter in your area. Use of FM transmitters
is currently illegal in certain European countries
due to specifc radio frequency restrictions. See
page 59 for more information.
If an FM transmitter is available on your
nvi, you can listen to the nvi audio on
an FM stereo.
NOTE: When using the FM
transmitter function on the nvi,
hands-free phone calls through the
nvi might be overheard by adjacent
vehicles through the FM stereo.
Auto Tuning the FM
Transmitter
If you are using an FM traffc receiver,
the nvi can select a channel for you.
1. From the Menu page, touch Volume
> Audio Output > FM Transmitter >
OK > Auto Tune.
2. Tune your stereo to the selected
channel.
Manually Tuning the FM
Transmitter
If you are not using an FM traffc
receiver or you are using an MSN
Direct receiver, select an FM channel for
the FM transmitter.
1. From the Menu page, touch Volume
> Audio Output > FM Transmitter >
OK.
2. Tune your stereo to an FM channel
that has a lot of static and has a low
FM frequency number.
3. Touch the Current FM Frequency
button.
4. Touch and to select the same
frequency to which your stereo is
tuned.
nvi 705 Series Owners Manual 43
Playing Audio Through Your Vehicle Speakers
Frequency Selection Tips
For best results, select a frequency below
90.1 FM.
When searching for an appropriate FM
frequency on your FM stereo, look for
an unused frequency that has steady,
consistent static. If you hear slight noises
and sounds in the background of the
static, select a different frequency.
As you travel, you might need to change
the frequency for the FM transmitter.
A frequency not used by a radio station
in your area might be used by a station
elsewhere.
FM Transmitter
Information
The FM transmitter is intended to
transmit the audio from the nvi to your
FM stereo.
Do not adjust your FM settings while
you are driving your vehicle.
The distance between the vehicle power
cable, the nvi, and the FM stereo
antenna may also affect the noise level.
Vehicles with antennas located far
away, such as a rear-mounted antenna,
may experience more interference from
outside noise sources than vehicles with
front-mounted antennas.
As you drive, you may notice changes
in the background static even though
there is no FM station using that
channel. You may notice this as you
drive through intersections where certain
kinds of traffc lights or other municipal
electronic systems are operating. You
might also notice this effect when the
terrain changes, allowing distant stations
to be received by your car stereo that
were not received when you made your
initial frequency selection. These and
other sources of electrical interference
may make it necessary to look for
another frequency.
