ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout shows the time in hours and
minutes whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or
ACC position and the time button is pressed.
When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or when
the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is
accurately maintained.
Clock Setting Procedure
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON or ACC position
and press the time button. Using the tip of a ballpoint pen
or similar object, press either the hour (H) or minute (M)
buttons on the radio.
2. Press the H button to set hours or the M button to set
minutes. The time setting will increase each time you
press a button.
RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
Your new radio will provide excellent reception under
most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these “ap-
parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
Two Types of Signals
There are two basic types of radio signals... AM or
Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound
causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to
vary... and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the
frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.

variety of destinations and routes.Refer to your “Navi-
gation User’s Manual” for detailed operating instruc-
tions.
NOTE:If your vehicle is not equipped with the CD
Changer option, you will not be able to use the Naviga-
tion system and the CD Player simultaneously. Always
remove the Navigation DVD before inserting another
disc.
Clock Setting Procedure
The GPS receiver used in this system is synchronized to
the time data being transmitted by the GPS satellite. The
satellites’ clock is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This is
the worldwide standard for time. This makes the sys-
tem’s clock very accurate once the appropriate time zone
and daylight savings information is set.
To manually set the clock, change the time zone, or
change daylight savings information, use a ball point penor similar object to press the hour (H) or minute (M)
buttons on the radio. TheSetupscreen appears.
Setting the Clock
1. Press the H button on the faceplate to change the hour
or the M button on the faceplate to change the minute.
The setting will increase each time you press the button.
Holding either button in will fast forward the setting.
2. If no changes are made within 5 seconds of accessing
theSetupscreen, the screen will time out and you will be
taken to the last mode.
NOTE:To reset the clock, select the appropriate time
zone and press ENTER. The clock will revert to the
accurate time based on the time zone you selected.
Changing Time Zone
1. Highlight “Clock Setup” and press ENTER.
