Those bands cover these frequencies:
AM band: 530 to 1,710 kHz
FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 MHz A radio station’s signal gets weaker
as you get f arther away f rom its
transmitter. If you are listening to an
AM station, you will notice the sound
volume becoming weaker, and the
stationdriftinginandout.If youare
listening to an FM station, you will
see the stereo indicator f lickering of f
and on as the signal weakens.
Eventually, the stereo indicator will
go of f and the sound will f ade
completely as you get out of range of
the station’s signal.Driving very near the transmitter of
a station that is broadcasting on a
f requency close to the f requency of
the station you are listening to can
also af f ect your radio’s reception.
You may temporarily hear both
stations,orhearonlythestationyou
are close to.
Your vehicle’s radio can receive the
complete AM and FM bands.
How well your vehicle’s radio
receives stations is dependent on
many f actors, such as the distance
from the station’s transmitter,
nearby large objects, and
atmospheric conditions.
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned f requencies at least 10 kHz
apart (530, 540, 550). Stations on the
FM band are assigned f requencies at
least 0.2 MHz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).
Stations must use these exact
f requencies. It is f airly common f or
stations to round-of f the f requency in
their advertising, so your radio could
display a f requency of 100.9 even
though the announcer may identif y
the station as ‘‘FM101.’’

If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead, the audio
system disables itself. If this happens,
you will see ‘‘ENTER CODE’’ in the
frequency display next time you turn
on the system. Use the preset
buttons to enter the five-digit code.
The code is on the Anti-theft
Identification Card included in your
owner’s manual kit. When it is
entered correctly, the radio will
start playing.
The Anti-thef t Identif ication Card
also lists your audio serial number. It
is best to store the card in a saf e
place at home. In addition, you
should write the audio system’s
serial number in this owner’s manual.
If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in ten attempts, youmust then leave the system on for
one hour bef ore trying again.
The system will retain your AM and
FM presets even if power is
disconnected.
If you have a My Acura account, it is
easy to retrieve the anti-theft code
online without having to access the
serial number.
We recommend that you register the
security code at My Acura (myacura.
com). If you lose the Anti-thef t
Identification Card before
registering the code at My Acura,
you must obtain the code f rom your
dealer or
. To do this, you will need the
audio system’s serial number. If you
do not have the serial number with
you,askyourdealerorgoto forinf ormation on how to retrieve it.
If you lose the Anti-thef t
Identif ication Card, you must obtain

code and serial number. Follow the
same procedure to retrieve the serial
number and obtain the code, and
read the navigation system manual
