Reception sensitivity ●
Maintaining perfect radio recept ion at all times is difficult due to the continually chang-
ing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and surrounding objects, such
as trains, transmitters, etc. ●
The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio reception,
do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the antenna wire
mounted inside the rear window. Experience Cause Action
Mismatch of time align-
ment- a user may hear a
short period of program-
ming replayed or an echo,
stutter or skip. The radio stations analog
and digital volume are not
properly aligned or the sta-
tion is in ballgame mode. None, radio broadcast
issue. A user can contact
the radio station.

tion.
