back to the time display after five
seconds.
You can use the instrument panel
brightness control knob to adjust the
illumination of the audio system (see

illuminates when the parking lights

If an error occurs while operating
the CD player or optional CD

error code and will not switch to the
time display until the error is
corrected (see pages and ).

Your Honda’s radio can receive the
complete AM and FM bands.
Those bands cover these f requen-
cies:
AM band:
530 to 1,710 kilohertz
FM band:
87.7 to 107.9 megahertz
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned f requencies at least ten
kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).
Stations on the FM band are
assigned f requencies at least 0.2
megahertz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).Stations must use these exact
f requencies. It is f airly common f or
stations to round-of f the f requency in
their advertising, so your radio could
display a f requency of 100.9 even
though the announcer may identif y
the station as ‘‘FM101.’’
For example: 1:06 would RESET to 1:00.
1:52 would RESET to 2:00.
If your car’s battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the time setting will be
lost. To set the time again, f ollow the
setting procedure.
You can quickly set the time to the
nearest hour. If the displayed time is
bef ore the half hour, the clock is set
back to the previous hour by
pressing and holding the CLOCK
(SCAN/RPT) button, then pressing
the RESET (Preset 6) button. If the
displayed time is af ter the half hour,
the clock is set forward to the
