Playing Audio Through the Vehicles Speakers
Before using the FM transmitter in your area, see the FM transmitter legal notice on page 52.
If an FM transmitter is available on your nvi, you can listen to your nvi audio on an FM stereo.
note: When using the FM transmitter function on the nvi, any phone calls that you place or receive through the nvi might be overheard by adjacent vehicles through the FM stereo.
1. From the Menu page, touch Volume > FM Trans > Enable FM Transmitter. 2. Tune your stereo to an FM channel that has a lot of static and has a low FM frequency number. 3. Touch and to select the same frequency to which your stereo is tuned.

nvi 700 Series Owners Manual35

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, choose 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.
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 traffic 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.

FM Transmitter Information
The FM transmitter is intended to transmit your nvis audio to your FM stereo. Do not adjust your FM settings while you are driving your vehicle.
