formatted in NTFS and will not work. Refer to the information that came with your flash

memory drive concerning “Changing formats”.

4. Does the VRFM8R work with all flash memory drives?

A. Yes, as long as files are in the root directory. VRFM8R will not read files in folders or

sub-directories.

A. Yes.

mode, files will be played at random. The VRFM8R remembers the last song

6. Is there a limit to the size of flash memory drive I can use?

A. No.

7. Will it help if I number my song files?

A. No. The VRFM8R does not display or read numbers, song names, or artists. It starts

with the first file copied to the flash memory drive and reads them in the order they were

copied. Even if you change the file names after they are copied to the flash memory drive,

they will still be played in the order they were copied to the flash memory drive.

8. I hear a slight static noise on my radio, why?

A. The VRFM8R is a very low power FM transmitter. Its transmit range is limited to under

20 feet under the best of conditions. Commercial radio stations on the same channel or

adjacent channels will interfere with the VRFM8R signal. Using a different channel will

alleviate this interference.

Why do I hear a “whining noise” that changes pitch when I step on the accelerator?

A. This noise is not coming from the VRFM8R. This is electrical noise generated inside the

vehicle’s alternator. It can be reduced by purchasing an “alternator noise filter kit” at a

local discount auto parts store. The filter kit will have installation instructions. If this does

not eliminate the noise call us toll-free at 1-800-445-1797 for help.

10.

I plug the VRFM8R in, but the Red LED does not light up, why?

A. Ensure that the socket has power and that the VRFM8R is fully inserted into the socket.

If the Red LED still does not light up, check the fuse as shown in “Changing the fuse”.

11. What should I do if the VRFM8R does not operate properly?

A. First, read and follow the instructions in this manual. If all else fails, contact Technical

Service at www.vr3.com or call toll-free, 1-800-445-1797 for help.
