ANTENNAB870D01Y-AATGlass AntennaWhen the radio power switch is turned on
while the ignition key is in either the "ON"
or "ACC" position, your car will receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals through
the antenna in the rear window glass.
HNF2189-A
CAUTION:
o Do not clean the inner side of the rear
window glass with an abrasive type of
glass cleaner or use a scraper to
remove foreign deposits from the
inner surface of the glass as this may
cause damage to the antenna
elements.
o Avoid adding metallic coatings to the
rear window glass, such as Ni, Cd, etc.
These can disturb receiving AM and
FM broadcast signals.
!
CAUTION:
o Replace the filter every 10,000 miles
(15,000 km) or once a year.
If the car is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough roads,
more frequent climate control air filter
inspections and changes are re-
quired.
o When the air flow rate is suddenly
decreased, the system should be
checked at an authorized dealer.

broadcast signal is not available.

STEREO SOUND SYSTEMB750A02A-AATHow Car Audio Works
AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addition,
they curve around obstructions so that
they can provide better signal coverage. AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the radio
antenna on your car. This signal is then
received by the radio and sent to your car
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best
possible quality reproduction. However,
in some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear. This
can be due to factors such as the distance
from the radio station, closeness of other
strong radio stations or the presence of
buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-
quencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short
distances from the station. Also, FM signals
are easily affected by buildings, mountains,
or other obstructions. These can result in
certain listening conditions which might
lead you to believe a problem exists with
your radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio trouble: Ionosphere

o 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.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter
and your radio can disturb the signal
causing static or fluttering noises to
occur. Reducing the treble level may
lessen this effect until the disturbance
clears.o Station Swapping - As an 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 clearest signal.
If this occurs, select another station with
a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals
being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflected
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.
B750B05Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way
radioWhen 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 cellular
phone at a place as far as possible from the
audio equipment.
WARNING:
Hyundai recommends that you never
use a cell phone while driving. This could
result in loss of control, and an accident
that may cause death, serious injury, or
property damage. You must stop at a
safe place to use a cellular phone.NOTE:Some states and cities have regulations
prohibiting the use of cell phones while
driving. You should be aware of the
specific requirements in your area.

CARE OF DISCS
B850A02L B850A02F-AAT
Proper HandlingStorage
When not in use, place your discs in their
individual case and store them in a cool
place away from the sun, heat, and dust.
Do not grip or pull out the disc with your
hand while the disc is being pulled into the
unit by the self loading mechanism.Keep Your Discs Clean
Handle your disc as shown. Do not drop
the disc. Hold the disc so you will not leave
fingerprints on the surface. If the surface is
scratched, it may cause the pickup to skip
signal tracks. Do not affix tape, paper, or
gummed labels on the disc. Do not write on
the disc.Damaged DiscDo not attempt to play damaged, warped
or cracked discs. These could severely
damage the playback mechanism.Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of
a disc could cause the pickup to skip signal
tracks. Wipe the surface clean with a clean
soft cloth. If the surface is heavily soiled,
dampen a clean soft cloth in a solution of
mild neutral detergent to wipe it clean. See
drawing.
