high-pitched squeal or the sound is otherwise distorted, a ground
loop isolator can eliminate the problem. These are available at
many electronics stores. For example, Radio Shack
offers an effec-
tive isolator, catalog number 270-054. This or other ground loop
isolators may require additional cable adapters to connect with the
iWAY and your radio. Consult your electronics retailer for help in
determining the parts you may need for your system.
2. Next, find the auxiliary line input on your car's stereo. As we men-
tioned before, this is usually located on the back of the stereo. Consult
your vehicle's owner's manual for details on properly removing the in-
stalled stereo or any dash components necessary to access it.
3. Plug the direct cable connection's stereo line-in plug into the input
socket on your stereo. Standard audio adapters may be necessary.
4. Attach the power wires to your vehicle's power supply. To protect
your GPS unit, we recommend you install an inline 3-amp fuse on the
red (+ positive) wire. Fuses and various wire-splicing connectors are
available at consumer electronics stores.
5. Finally, attach the power plug to the power socket on the back of
your iWAY. Turn on your car and press the
POWER button on the front
of the iWAY. If you've connected everything correctly, the iWAY should
turn on, running directly off your car's power supply.
Now switch your stereo to its auxiliary line input and press the
SPEAK
button on the iWAY. You should hear the current turn-by-turn instruc-
tion (probably "Not navigating") through your car's stereo.
Resolving Audio Distortion in iWAY Audio Output
Depending on your stereo connection, you may experience audible dis-
tortion when you play iWAY audio through your car's stereo. Different
audio connections (such as FM modulators or direct line connections)
are able to handle varying levels of audio signal before distortion be-
comes an issue. If you do experience significant audio distortion, simply
follow the steps in these paragraphs to correct it.
We have designed the iWAY to give you the very best sound from your
stereo system. You probably won't have any problem with audio distor-
tion. However, if you do, once you have properly configured these con-
trols, the iWAY will remember the settings you've chosen and you
shouldn't have to adjust them again.
To resolve audio distortion when playing back songs there are several
things you can try.
1. If you use an FM modulator that requires batteries, make sure
that it has fresh batteries. This step alone may solve the problem.
