GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and ReceptionFactors
AM and FM frequencies are established bythe Federal Communications Commission(FCC) and the Canadian Radio andTelecommunications Commission (CRTC).Those frequencies are:
•AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz
•FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker thesignal and the weaker the reception.Distance and strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freewayoverpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage andthunderstorms can interfere with the reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeatingtower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one andresult in the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player Information
Note:CD units play commercially pressed4.75-inch (12 centimeter) audio compactdiscs only. Due to technical incompatibility,certain recordable and re-recordablecompact discs may not function correctlywhen used in Ford CD players.
Note:Do not insert CDs with homemadepaper (adhesive) labels into the CD playeras the label may peel and cause the CD tobecome jammed. You should use apermanent felt tip marker rather thanadhesive labels on your homemade CDs.Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Pleasecontact an authorized dealer for furtherinformation.
Note:Do not use any irregularly shapeddiscs or discs with a scratch protection filmattached.
Always handle discs by their edges only.Clean the disc with an approved CDcleaner only. Wipe it from the center of thedisc toward the edge. Do not clean in acircular motion.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight orheat sources for extended periods.
MP3 Track and Folder Structure
Audio systems capable of recognizing andplaying MP3 individual tracks and folderstructures work as follows:
•There are two different modes for MP3disc playback: MP3 track mode(system default) and MP3 foldermode.
•MP3 track mode ignores any folderstructure on the MP3 disc. The playernumbers each MP3 track on the disc(noted by the .mp3 file extension) fromT001 to a maximum of T255. Themaximum number of playable MP3files may be less depending on thestructure of the CD and exact modelof radio present.
294Fusion (CC7) , enUSAAudio System
•MP3 folder mode represents a folderstructure consisting of one level offolders. The CD player numbers all MP3tracks on the disc (noted by the .mp3file extension) and all folderscontaining MP3 files, from F001(folder) T001 (track) to F253 T255.
•Creating discs with only one level offolders helps with navigation throughthe disc files.
If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it isimportant to understand how the systemreads the structures you create. Whilevarious files may be present, (files withextensions other than mp3), only files withthe .mp3 extension are played; other filesare ignored by the system. This enablesyou to use the same MP3 disc for a varietyof tasks on your work computer, homecomputer and your in-vehicle system.
In track mode, the system displays andplays the structure as if it were only onelevel deep (all .mp3 files play, regardlessof being in a specific folder). In foldermode, the system only plays the .mp3 filesin the current folder.
