Using the Radio

a Tuner button down for a few seconds until it starts to seek a station. The unit will remember the last
station you were on and start at that station when you power off and power on again.
To add a preset:

B. Press and hold a numeric Radio Preset button for a few seconds to assign the current station to
that preset number. To use an added preset, tap a Radio Preset number once lightly to go to the
stored radio station.
Using the Aux Input
Connect your iPod, iPod touch, iPhone, smartphone, MP3 player, or similar device to the Aux input. Adjust
the output volume on your source device and then adjust the overall volume using the Volume knob on
TAILGATER ACTIVE.
Troubleshooting
If the sound is distorted: Try lowering the volume control of your sound source or musical instrument. Also, try to
reduce the overall volume of TAILGATER ACTIVE.
If there is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level. This
will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs.
If there is poor AM reception: To adjust AM reception, move the entire unit.
If the AC Outlet is not working: Make sure TAILGATER ACTIVE is connected to wall power.
If TAILGATER ACTIVE is not charging: Make sure the fuse is not blown. If it is, replace the fuse with one of the
same rating.
