Discover the freedom of sending a wireless broadcast of
any audio (music audio, streaming audio, MP3 audio etc.) to any
FM radio anywhere in your home, car or office!
The FM Transmitter uses FM radio waves to send sound from any device you choose
(as long as it has a headphone jack) to any nearby radio or stereo system. The
only wire you have to connect is from the FM Transmitter to your gear. Simple
as that. And since the Transmitter works with any device that has a headphone
jack, you can use it with CD players, satellite radios, and any other audio
device with a headphone jack. One of the unsung qualities of C. Crane’s Digital
FM Transmitter is its extreme versatility. While most people use it to send
music from their computers or MP3 players to a nearby radio, some customers
have told us how they use it with their guitars, portable DVD players (a lot
of fun in cars), and even other radios. It is one of the only FM Transmitters
to have an adjustable audio input. It will handle virtually any level of audio
input. The side mount thumbwheel allows you to adjust the input for perfect
quality. It also has an LED indicator for overload. One customer uses the FM
Transmitter as a brilliant solution to the problem of turning the TV’s volume
up too high. She simply plugs the FM Transmitter into her TV, and sends the
audio to a small radio she keeps by her ear. AC adapter included, or use 2 optional
“AA” batteries. Our FM Transmitter is one of the few transmitting devices available
that is FCC approved. Choose any FM frequency between 88.3 MHz and 107.7 MHz.
Portable, fits in the palm of your hand.
Weight: 5.8 oz. Size 3" W x 3.5" H x 1" D. (Patent # US D483,024S)

How far will the FM Transmitter transmit?
| |
The range will vary depending on several factors.
- The number of FM Stations in your area
- The quality of your FM receiver and antenna
- The number of walls the signal needs to travel through
- The types of walls (wood, metal, sheet rock, stucco, etc.)
Most of our customers achieve 40 - 70 feet depending on their situation. If you are are having range problems, feel free to Contact Us. Generally the best performance is achieved with the included AC adapter.

No Audio
| |
- Verify the power on the FM Transmitter, your audio source and your receiver is on.
- Try adjusting the input level on the side of the FM Transmitter. If that doesnt help, try adjusting the volume of your audio source.
- Check your cable and make sure it is connected to the right audio source.
- Check your frequency and make sure you are tuned to the correct frequency.
If none of the above options work, try the FM Transmitter on another device.

How do I connect my FM Transmitter to my computer?
| |
You can connect it directly to your computers sound card by connecting to the output or headphone jack. You need to adjust the volume on your computer and the input level control on the FM Transmitter. You can also connect the FM Transmitter to your computers speakers if they have a headphone jack.
|
| |
Why am I getting muffled sound or poor fidelity from my FM Transmitter?
| |
The input level control on the side of the FM Transmitter is probably set too high. The FM Transmitter ""overloads"" easily, and this may cause muffled, harsh, and distorted audio. Set the input level control so that the LED on the unit just barely glows or flashes, and then back it off just a little. If the gain is set any higher, then the LED will flash brightly or stays on. This means the unit is overloading. Overloading can cause poor audio quality. On the other hand if the level is set too low, the signal will have more noise and hash, and will also have less of a transmitting range.

| |
How does the Automatic Power Off Timer work?
| |
Press and hold the power button. It must be activated. It will shut the transmitter off in 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours selectable by you.
