Getting started
Activation
Insert the map disc into the unit to start the Mobile Navigation System.
Note
l
The map disc cannot be inserted or ejected while the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
l Remember that the battery can run down if the ignition switch is kept in the ACC or ON
position for a long time while the engine not running.
nMap Disc
l Refer to “Handling and Care of Map Discs” to know how to handle a map
disc ( page 60).
1
Remove the cover.Note
lThe main unit is located on the right side of the
cargo sub-compartment under the trunk board.
l Condensation may form on the optical lens or the
map disc inside the unit when the temperature in
the vehicle increases in a short time such as when
heating the car on a cold day. This condensation
may cause malfunctions. If so, unload the map disc
and do not operate the unit for approximately 1
hour. Wipe the condensation off the map disc with a
soft cloth.
If the unit does not operate correctly after 1 hour,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Note
lWhen the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
position, the screen changes as follows to activate
the navigation system.
l The screen (audio or navigation) that was displayed
prior to the engine being turned off is displayed.
Before the navigation screen is displayed, the
CAUTION screen will be displayed.

nRadio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach
longer distances than FM signals. Because
of this, two stations may sometimes be
picked up on the same frequency at the
same time.
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about 40–
50 km (25–30 miles) from the source.
Because of extra coding needed to break the
sound into two channels, stereo FM has
even less range than monaural (non-stereo)
FM. Signals from an FM transmitter are similar to
beams of light because they do not bend
around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot travel
beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM stations
cannot be received at the great distances
possible with AM reception.
Atmospheric conditions can also affect FM
reception. High humidity will cause poor
reception. However, cloudy days may pro-
vide better reception than clear days.
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both the
direct signal and the reflected signal at the
same time. This causes a slight delay in
reception and may be heard as a broken
sound or a distortion. This problem may also
be encountered when in close proximity to
the transmitter.

Audio Operation
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and other
obstacles. When a vehicle passes through
such an area, the reception conditions may
change suddenly, resulting in annoying
noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas is
characterized by sound breakup.Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter tower.
The broadcast signals are extremely strong,
so the result is noise and sound breakup at
the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar fre-
quencies, the original station may be tempo-
rarily lost and the second station picked up.
At this time there will be some noise from
this disturbance.
