The climate control system in your INFINITI
is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind. This refrigerant
will not harm the earth ’ s ozone layer.
However, special charging equipment and
lubricant are required when servicing your
INFINITI air conditioner. Using improper
refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe
damage to your climate control system.
(See “ Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants ” (P.9-2) for climate control sys-
tem refrigerant and lubricant recommenda-
tions.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate con-
trol system.
WARNINGThe system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air
conditioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the proper
equipment. GUID-470B9283-3868-4B33-8DC7-CC4D3168A0D9

Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select
button to turn on the radio. If you listen to
the radio with the engine not running, the
ignition switch should be pushed to the
ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station
signal strength, distance from radio trans-
mitter, buildings, bridges, mountains and
other external influences. Intermittent
changes in reception quality normally are
caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
Your INFINITI radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However there are some general character-
istics of both FM and AM radio signals that
can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your INFINITI radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly
change because of vehicle movement.
Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below
are some of the factors that can affect your
radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to
come from the audio system speakers.
Storing the device in a different location
may reduce or eliminate the noise.

FM radio reception: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibit-
ing many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off
objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by lowering the treble
setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct
and reflected signals reach the receiver at
the same time. The signals may cancel
each other, resulting in momentary flutter
or loss of sound.
AM radio reception: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along
the ground. In addition, the signals can be
bounced off the ionosphere and bent back
to earth. Because of these characteristics.
AM signals are also subject to interference
as they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur
for several seconds during ionospheric
turbulence even in areas where no obsta- cles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
Satellite radio reception (if so equipped): GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This
is not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large
building for the satellite radio to receive
all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
XM ®
Satellite Radio subscription. The
satellite radio is not available in Alaska,
Hawaii and Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

Compressed Audio Files (MP3/
WMA/AAC) GUID-47EB1CBC-EA75-4271-9A35-A2D303CDA119
Explanation of terms: GUID-D73A39BF-43C8-459F-9C24-47B7F579C407
. MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures
Experts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is
the most well known compressed
digital audio file format. This format
allows for near “ CD quality ” sound, but
at a fraction of the size of normal audio
files. MP3 conversion of an audio track
can reduce the file size by approxi-
mately a 10:1 ratio (Sampling: 44.1
kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually
no perceptible loss in quality. The
compression reduces certain parts of
sound that seem inaudible to most
people. . WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is
a compressed audio format created by
Microsoft as an alternative to MP3. The
WMA codec offers greater file compres-
sion than the MP3 codec, enabling
storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when
compared to MP3s at the same level
of quality.
. AAC/M4A — Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is a lossy audio compression
format. Audio files that have been
encoded with AAC are generally smaller
in size and deliver a higher quality of
sound than MP3.
. Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number
of bits per second used by a digital
music file. The size and quality of a
compressed digital audio file is deter-
mined by the bit rate used when
encoding the file.
. Sampling frequency — Sampling fre-
quency is the rate at which the samples
of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.
. Multisession — Multisession is one of
the methods for writing data to media.
Writing data once to the media is called
a single session, and writing more than

Black plate (225,1)
[ Edit: 2012/ 1/ 17 Model: V36-D ]once is called a multisession.
. ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the
part of the encoded MP3 or WMA file
that contains information about the
digital music file such as song title,
artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag in-
formation is displayed on the Album/
Artist/Track title line on the display.
