CASSETTE TAPE OPERATIONS
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON, then
insert the cassette tape into the tape door
by lightly pushing it. Because of the power
loading feature, the cassette tape is auto-
matically pulled into the player and begins
to play.
CAUTION
Do not force the cassette tape into the
tape door. This could damage the
player.
When a cassette is inserted into the audio
system, the word TAPE and a cassette side
symbol (either one or two) illuminate in the
display window.
A cassette tape can be loaded with the
ignition ON whether or not the radio power
is on. Inserting a cassette tape with the
radio power off causes the audio system to
turn on. After the cassette is ejected, the
audio system turns off. Also, the power
antenna (if so equipped) stays in the down
position during cassette tape operation.
The cassette tape automatically changes
directions to play the other side when the
first side is completed.
cTo maintain good quality sound,
NISSAN recommends using cassette
tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in
length.
cCassette tapes should be removed
from the player when not in use. Store

Manual antenna
The manual antenna on your vehicle re-
mains in the up position at all times. The
antenna cannot be shortened, but can be
removed. When you need to remove the
antenna, turn its base counterclockwise.
Power antenna (if so equipped)
The power antenna automatically extends
when the radio is turned on, and retracts
when turned off or when a tape or CD is
played. If the radio is left on, the antenna
retracts and extends with the ignition key
OFF-ON operation.
CAUTION
cBefore turning the radio on, make
sure that there is no one near the
antenna outlet and there is enough
space for it to extend.
cTo prevent damage, be sure that the
power antenna is fully retracted be-
fore the vehicle enters an automated
car wash.cDirt and other foreign matter on the
power antenna rod may interrupt its
operation. Clean the rod periodically
with a damp cloth. This type of
cleaning is especially important dur-
ing the winter seasons in areas
where road salt and other chemicals
may be spread on the road surfaces
and splashed onto the antenna rod.

Microphone installed model
If equipped with a genuine NISSAN cellular
phone, your NISSAN features a non-
directional microphone in the steering col-
umn cover, so it is not necessary to look at
or speak directly into the microphone when
calling.
To do so could detract from the driving
operation and cause an accident.
See the manual for car phone operation.
Pre-wired and antenna for phone
installed model
Some models are pre-wired to accept the
genuine NISSAN cellular phone.
In addition, the same model has the phone
antenna built into the rear glass window.
When installing a CB ham radio, a car
phone or other transmitters in your NISSAN,
be sure to observe the following cautions,
otherwise the new equipment may ad-
versely affect the MFI system and other
electronic parts.CAUTION
cKeep the antenna as far away as
possible from the electronic control
unit (including the radio).
cAlso keep the antenna wire more
than 8 inches (20 cm) away from the
Multiport Electronic Fuel Injection
(MFI) harness. Do not route the an-
tenna wire next to any harness.
cAdjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.cConnect the ground wire from the
CB radio chassis to the body.
cFor details, consult an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
