3• Fading - As your car moves away from
the radio station, the signal will weaken
and sound will begin to fade. When this
occurs, we suggest that you select
another stronger station.
 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears.  Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select anoth-
er station with a stronger signal.
 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed signal from the same station, or by
signals from two stations with close
frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has
passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio equipment. This does not mean
that something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, use the cellu-
lar phone at a place as far as possible
from the audio equipment.

stop at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.

Care of cassette tapes
(if equipped) Because the thickness of a cassettetape with the total playback time of
over 60 minutes (C-60) are too thin, we
suggest that you do not use any of
them to avoid having tapes being tan-
gled.
 To achieve better sound quality, period- ically clean the tape head using a cot-
ton stick with colorless alcohol (once
per month).
 If a tape is too loose, fasten it to reel by winding with objects like a pencil.
 Because dust or foreign objects on a cassette tape may damage the play-
back head, always store tapes in their
cases when not in use.
 Make sure cassette tapes are kept away from magnetic devices (TV,
stereo system, etc) in order to achieve
better sound quality.
Be certain that no objects or substances
other than cassette tapes are inserted
into the cassette tape player. Because tape media can be distorted when exposed to direct sunlight, Do
not leave cassette tapes on the seats,
dashboard or near the back wind-
shield.
Care of disc (if equipped) If the temperature inside the car is toohigh, open the car windows for ventilation
before using your car audio.
 It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA/AAC/WAVE files without
permission(If equipped with M465, use
only MP3/WMA, If equipped with M445,
use only CD-DA). Use CDs that are cre-
ated only by lawful means.
 Do not apply volatile agents such as benzene and thinner, normal cleaners
and magnetic sprays made for ana-
logue disc onto CDs.
 To prevent the disc surface from get- ting damaged. Hold and carry CDs by
the edges or the edges of the center
hole only.
 Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it from the
center to the outside edge.)
 Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or paper
onto it.
 Make sure on undesirable matter other than CDs are inserted into the CD
player (Do not insert more than one
CD at a time).
 Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or dirt.  Depending on the type of CD-R/CD-
RW CDs, certain CDs may not operate
normally according to manufacturing
companies or making and recording
methods. In such circumstances, if you
still continue to use those CDs, they
may cause the malfunction of your car
audio system.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
- Playing an
Incompatible Copy-Protected
Audio CD
Some copy-protected CDs, which do not
comply with the international audio CD
standards(Red Book), may not play on
your car audio. Please note that if you
try to play copy protected CDs and the
CD player of your car audio is not per-
forming to your expectation, this may be
caused by those CDs and not a defect in
the device itself. Please replace those
CDs.
