Tuning your Belkin F8Z880

NOTE:  If your audio signal decreases while using your Belkin F8Z880, simply press the ClearScan button again to locate a new FM frequency to switch to.

Manually selecting an FM frequency

If you want to manually choose a frequency to broadcast on, you can do this with the manual frequency buttons on the front of your Belkin F8Z880 between the LCD frequency display and the ClearScan button.  These are marked with a (+) and (-) symbol.

•    Frequency up (+) – Pressing this button increases the FM frequency in .1 MHz increments.
•    Frequency down (-) – Pressing this button decreases the FM frequency in .1 MHz increments.

Use the frequency up and down buttons to select the FM frequency you wish to use the Belkin F8Z880 with.  Once you have found a frequency, you can tune your car radio to this and begin listening to audio.

Storing a favorite frequency

The Belkin F8Z880 allows you to store up to two frequencies in its onboard memory for future use.  This is done using the m1 and m2 buttons above the LCD frequency display.

To store a frequency, select the desired frequency on your Belkin F8Z880 using the manual tuning buttons or the ClearScan button then press and either the m1 or m2 preset button for 2 seconds.  The m1 or m2 icon will flash on the LCD frequency screen when the frequency storage is complete.
