* Distance - Try moving PodFreq mini closer to the radio, The effective transmitting range will decrease with distance;
objects and walls between PodFreq mini and the FM tuner or radio's antenna will also affect reception,
* Radio station on the same frequency - If there is a radio station broadcasting on the frequency you chose, reception will be affected; this is especially important to remember when you use PodFreg mini in a moving vehicle,
* Strong adjacent radio station(s) - The presence of a strong radio station on a frequency near the one you've chosen may cause interference; try selecting another frequency. Distorted sound * Different tuning frequencies - Verify that PodFreq mini's broadcast frequency is the same as the one you chose on the FM tuner, If you are using an analog tuner, try fine-tun-
ing the dial to hear clearer sound.
* iPod mini EQ is on When any EQ setting other than Off is selected on the iPod mini, especially any that increase the bass, the sound from the iPod may be distorted. Unfortunately, this is normal, as the distortion may also be heard through the headphones; this is an iPod mini issue.
