Issue
The audio is distorted.
Solution 1
Decrease the volume of your audio device until you no longer hear distortion. Keeping the
device’s volume level at or below three-fourths of the maximum should prevent audio distortion.
However, don’t turn it so low that the audio-detection circuit shuts down your TuneCast 3.
Solution 2
Tune your car stereo and the TuneCast 3 to a different frequency.
Issue
TuneCast 3 automatically turns off when I am playing music.
Solution
Turn up your music-player volume. If the audio-detection circuit does not detect audio for 10
minutes, it shuts down the unit to preserve the battery. Possible causes of this situation are having
the music-player volume too low or pausing the player for longer than 10 minutes.
Issue
The battery indicator does not seem to display the correct battery status.
Solution
Be sure to use non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. Other battery types can cause TuneCast 3 to
display incorrect battery life.
Issue
My TuneCast 3 automatically powers off when I turn off my vehicle or unplug the unit from my
car’s power outlet.
Solution
TuneCast 3 automatically turns off when external DC power is removed.
