Satellite radio operation (if equipped)
To receive satellite radio, it is necessary to
install the SUBARU genuine satellite
receiver (optional equipment) and to enter
into a contract. For details, please contact
your SUBARU dealer. &XM
TMsatellite radio (U.S.A.
only)
XM
TMis a continental U.S. based satellite
radio service, including music, news,
sports, talk and children ’s programming.
XM
TMprovides digital quality audio and
text information, including song title and
artist name. A service fee is required to
receive the XM
TMservice. For more
information, contact XMTMatwww.xmradio.com or call 1-800-XM-
RADIO (1-800-967-2346). & Sirius satellite radio
Sirius satellite radio allows the listener to
experience digital sound quality and to
have a greater variety of channels.
Use of satellite radio (Sirius) requires a
tuner, antenna and a service contract. For
details, please contact your SUBARU
dealer or visit Sirius Satellite Radio at
www.sirius.com or call 1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474) for more information. Sirius, the
Sirius dog logo, channel names and logos

& Satellite radio reception
Satellite radio signals are best received in
areas with a clear view of the open sky. In
areas where there are tall buildings, trees,
tunnels or other structures that may
obstruct the signal of the satellites, there
may be signal interruptions. Other circum-
stances that may result in signal loss
include driving near a wall, steep cliff, hill
or driving on the lower level of a multi-
tiered road or inside of a parking garage.
To help reduce this condition, satellite
radio providers have installed ground-
based repeaters in heavily populated
areas. However, you may still experience
reception problems in some areas. !
XM
TMsatellite radio reception tips
for antenna on the windshield (for
U.S.A. only —if equipped)
For some models, the satellite radio
antenna is fixed to the upper right hand
corner of the windshield.
The XM
TMsatellite radio receiver that is
fitted to your vehicle receives the neces-
sary signals from two specially designated
satellites that are in a geostationary orbit
over the equator. One satellite covers the
east coast and the other covers the west
coast. Both of them direct their signals
north. These signals are then relayed
throughout the radio reception area by a
network of ground repeater stations. The
satellite radio signals are transmitted as“ line of sight ”signals. The line of sight

signals can be blocked by objects such as
buildings, but the network of repeater
stations allows signal coverage within
urban areas such as cities.
You may experience problems in receiving XM
TMsatellite radio signals in the follow-
ing situations. . If you are driving northward in a coastal
area
Because the satellite radio antenna is
located on the windshield, the signal
comes from the south and may not be
able to reach the antenna in some
circumstances when you are driving north.
. If you are driving in a tunnel or a
covered parking area . If you are driving beneath the top level
of a multi-level freeway .
If you drive under a bridge
. If you are driving next to a tall vehicle
(such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal . If you are driving in a valley where the
surrounding hills or peaks block the signal
from the south . If you are driving on a mountain road
where the southern direction is blocked by mountains
. If you are driving in an area with tall
trees that block the signal (10 m or more),
for example on a road that goes through a
dense forest . The signal can become weak in some
areas that are not covered by the repeater
station network.
Please note that these may be other unforeseen circumstances when there
are problems with the reception of XM
TM
satellite radio signals. NOTE
The channel guide is not yet updated if
the update is done while receiving the XM
TMsatellite radio signal. To complete
the update, turn the ignition switch tothe “LOCK ”position and then to the
“ ACC ”or “ON ”position.
& Displaying satellite radio ID
of tuner
When you activate satellite radio, you
should have your satellite radio tuner ID
ready because each tuner is identified by
its unique satellite radio tuner ID.
The satellite radio ID will be needed when
you activate satellite radio and receive
satellite radio customer support.
The satellite radio ID can be found on the
audio display by tuning the channel to “0 ”.
Turn the “TUNE/TRACK/CH ”dial to select
the satellite radio channel.
NOTE
For Sirius, change the display to an
indication mode other than the channel
number after performing the aboveoperation. Audio

– Driving at a high speed.
– Driving with a window open.
– When air from the ventilator
blows directly towards the micro-phone. – When the sound coming from the
ventilator is loud. –
When the cell phone is too close
to the microphone.
. The sound quality may degrade due
to the influence of the cell phone that is

pressly approved by the party re-
sponsible for compliance could void
the user ’s authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this de-
vice may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesiredoperation. NOTE
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment
may cause harmful interference to
radio communications, if it is not
installed and used in accordance with
the instructions. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful inter-
ference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the followingmeasures. .
Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna. . Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver. .Connect the equipment into an out-
let on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.. Consult the dealer or an experi-
enced radio/TV technician for help.. Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party respon-
sible for compliance could void theuser ’s authority to operate the equip-
ment.. This equipment complies with FCC/
IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled equipment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C
to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This
equipment has very low levels of RF
energy that it deemed to comply with-
out maximum permissive exposure
evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable
that it should be installed and operated
keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or
more away from person ’s body (ex-
cluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet
and ankles).. This transmitter must not be co-
located or operated in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter. &
Safety precautions
WARNING
. For safety reasons, avoid operat-
ing the cell phone while driving.
. Do not make a phone call while
driving. When you have an in-
coming call, stop the vehicle in a
safe location before taking the
incoming phone call. When you
have to absolutely take a phone
call, tell the caller “I’ll call you
back ”. And then call the caller
back after stopping the vehicle in
a safe location.
CAUTION
. Do not leave the cell phone in the
vehicle. The temperature in the
vehicle may become extremely
high and cause a malfunction of
the cell phone.
. When using the cell phone, be
careful not to get it close to the
in-vehicle equipment. Getting it
too close to the in-vehicle equip-
ment may result in deterioration
in tone quality or a poor connect-
ing condition. .
In the frequency band used by
this equipment, along with indus-
trial, scientific and medical
equipment such as a microwave
oven, radio stations (a license is
required) to be used by the
production line in the factory to
identify movable bodies, specific
small power radio stations (a
license is not required) and ama-
teur radio stations (a license is
required) are being operated.
(These three types of radio sta-
tions are hereinafter referred toas “other radio stations. ”) Before
using this equipment, be sure to
check to see if “other radio
stations ”are being operated in
the vicinity. If there is detrimental
radio interference from this
equipment to “other radio sta-
tions, ”move the equipment to
another location as soon as
possible to avoid radio interfer-
ence. The frequency band used
by this equipment is in the 2.4
GHz zone. The FH-SS modulation
is employed as a modulation
method. The expected inflicting
interference distance is less than
10 m (33 ft). This equipment uses
a full band and can avoid a band Audio
