2014 PORSCHE 911 TURBO radio antenna

158 Driving and Driving Safety
Radar sensor
Adaptive cruise control uses a radar sensor located in the center of the front apron ( arrow).
Information
fAlways keep the radar sensor clean and free of ice and snow to ensure that it is fully functional.
For car care instructions:fPlease see the chapter “CAR CARE INSTRUCTIONS” on page 231.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 8 in. (20 cm) between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Radar sensor vision can be impaired by rain, snow, ice or heavy spray. Vehicles in front will not be detected properly or may not be detected at all.fDo not use adaptive cruise control under these conditions.
Warning message
Adaptive cruise control can be deactivated automatically if the radar sensor is very dirty or is covered in ice or by an obstacle, in unfavorable weather conditions (heavy rain) or when driving through tunnels.The message “ ACC/PAS unavailable Service required ” will appear on the multi-function display in the instrument panel.
For information on warning messages on the multi- function display:fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.Operation is subject to the following two condi-tions:1. This device may not cause harmful interfe- rence, and2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Porsche may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.– This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Driving and Driving Safety 169
Static and fluttering
When the line-of-sight link between a transmitter and vehicle is blocked by large buildings or mountains, the radio sound may be accompanied with static or fluttering because of the characteristic of FM.
In a similar effect, a fluttering noise is sometimes heard when driving along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be reduced by adjusting the tone control for greater bass response until the disturbance has passed.
Multipath
Because of the reflecting characteristics of FM, direct and reflected signals may reach the antenna at the same time (multipath) and cancel each other out. As a vehicle moves through these electronic dead spots, the listener may hear a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Station swapping
When two FM stations are close to each other, and an electronic dead spot, such as static or multipath area, interrupts the original signal, sometimes the stronger second signal will be selected automatically until the original one returns. This swapping can also occur as you drive away from the selected station and approach another station of a stronger signal.
Compact disk player
To avoid damage to compact disk player and disks.fUse only compact disks labeled as shown, having no dirt, damage or warpage.
fNever attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player unit. Do not insert any object other than a disk into the slot. Remember there are no user-serviceable parts inside the compact disk player.fDo not allow the disk to sustain any fingerprints, scrapes or stickers on the surfaces. This may cause poor sound quality.Hold the disk only on the edge or center hole.fWhen not in use, take the disk out of the player, put the disk back into its case and store it away from dust, heat, damp and direct sunlight.Leaving the disk on the dashboard in the sun can damage the disk.fIf the disk gets dirty, clean the disk by wiping the surfaces from the center to the outside in a radial direction with a soft cloth. Do not use a conventional record cleaner or anti-static record preservative. Disk cleaners are available in audio stores.
Car Telephone and Aftermarket Alarms
Important legal and safety information regarding the use of cellular telephones
Some jurisdictions may prohibit the use of cellular telephones while driving a vehicle. Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular telephones in the areas where you drive.
Looking away from the road or turning your attention away from your driving to operate a cell phone will sooner or later cause an accident. fDo not attempt to operate a hand-held cell phone while you are driving. Safety is more important than a phone call.
fLearn to operate the hands-free phone, if it is available, before you start driving. Then make use of the hands-free phone at all times.
It is essential to observe the telephone manufacturer’s instructions before operating the telephone.
Any portable telephone or radio transmitter which is used in a Porsche must be properly installed in accordance with the technical requirements of Porsche.
The transmission power must not exceed 10 W.
The devices must possess a type approval for your vehicle and have an “e” symbol.
If you should require equipment with transmission power values greater than 10 W, please consult your authorized Porsche dealer for this purpose. They are familiar with the technical requirements for installing devices of this kind.
The antennas for all radios and telephones with a transmitting antenna must be externally mounted.
The improper installation of radios or telephones or use of a radio or telephone with a transmitting antenna inside the car may cause the warning lights to come on.
Improper installation of such equipment can create a discharged battery or excessive current draw from added equipment.

170 Driving and Driving Safety
If aftermarket systems are installed by non- dealership technicians or outside the selling dealer, problems may result. Installation of aftermarket equipment is not covered under the New Car Warranty. fConsult your authorized Porsche dealer about the installation of non-Porsche approved equipment.
Reception quality
The reception quality of your car telephone will change constantly when you are driving. Interference caused by buildings, landscape and weather is unavoidable. It may become particu-larly difficult to hear when using the hands-free function due to external noise such as engine and wind noise.
Automatic car-wash
fUnscrew external antennas before using an automatic car-wash.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)
Setting or operating the multi-function display, radio, navigation system, telephone or other equipment when driving could distract you from the traffic. You could lose control of the vehicle.fOperate the components while driving only if the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.fIf it is necessary to operate these components while the vehicle is in motion, use the function keys on the multi-functional steering wheel.
fRefer to the separate operating instructions before putting the PCM into operation.
When put into operation for the first time, a distance of approx. 3 miles (5 km) must be driven in order for the navigation system to complete the process of fine calibration. The same applies when the tires are changed (e.g. summer/snow tires) or new tires fitted. Full location accuracy is not yet achieved during the fine-calibration process.
If the vehicle has been transported (e.g. ferry, car train), the system may take a few minutes after being switched on before it determines the current location.
Serious tire slip (e.g. spinning wheels on snow) may result in temporarily inaccurate navigation.
When the battery has been disconnected, it may take up to 15 minutes before the navigation system is operational once more.
Satellite radio
You must have the satellite radio activated before you can put it into operation. You will need a contract with a provider in order to use this radio.fRefer to the separate radio operating instructions before putting into operation.
