RADIO OPERATION
To turn the radio on, turn the ignition key to
ACC or ON. If you listen to the radio with the
engine not running, turn the key to the ACC
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter,
buildings, bridges, mountains, and other
external influences. Intermittent changes in
reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
ONzOFF/VOL control knob
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON, then
push the ONzOFF/VOL control knob. The
mode (radio or cassette) which was playing
immediately before the system was turned
off resumes playing. When no cassette is
loaded, the radio comes on. Pushing the
ONzOFF/VOL button again turns the system
off.

CAUTION
Always properly tighten the antenna
rod during installation or the antenna
rod may break during vehicle opera-
tion.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 or a car
phone in your NISSAN, be sure to observe
the following cautions, otherwise the new
equipment may adversely affect the Multi-
port Fuel Injection (MFI) system and other
electronic parts.CAUTION
cKeep the antenna as far away as
possible from the Engine Control
Module (ECM).
c
Also keep the antenna wire more than
8 inches (20 cm) away from the en-
gine control harness. Do not route
the antenna wire next to any harness.
cAdjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the manu-
facturer.
