How Vehicle Audio Works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long distance, low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.

AM reception

FM broadcasts are transmitted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade within short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, and obstructions. This can lead
to undesirable or unpleasant listen-
ing conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio
trouble: Fading - As your vehicle moves
away from the radio station, the sig-
nal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs, we
suggest that you select another
stronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or flut-
tering noises to occur. Reducing the
treble level may lessen this effect
until the disturbance clears. Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.

Features of Your Vehicle
Satellite radio reception
You may experience difficulties in
receiving XM™satellite radio signals
in the following situations.
If you are driving in a tunnel or a covered parking area.
If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway.
If you are driving under a bridge.
If you are driving next to a tall vehi- cle (such as a truck or a bus) that
blocks the signal.
If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block
the signal from the satellite. If you are driving on a mountain
road where is the signal blocked by
mountains.
If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (30 ft.
/10m or more), for example on an
road that goes through a dense for-
est.
The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by
the XM™ repeater network.
Information
There may also be additional unfore-
seen circumstances leading to recep-
tion problems with the XM™ satellite
radio signal.
Advisory Messages, such as ‘CH
Unavailable’ may occur when starting
XM™ Radio.

Caring for CDs
If the temperature inside the car istoo high, open the car windows to
ventilate before using the system.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA files without permission.
Use CDs that are created only by
lawful means.
Do not apply volatile agents, such as benzene and thinner, normal
cleaners and magnetic sprays
made for analog disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from getting damaged, hold CDs by the
edges or the center hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipe it
from the center to the outside
edge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper.
Make certain only CDs are inserted into the CD player (Do not insert
more than one CD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or dirt. Depending on the type of CD-
R/CD-RW CDs, certain CDs may
not operate normally according to
the manufacturing companies. In
such circumstances, continued use
may cause malfunctions to your
audio system.
Information - Playing an
Incompatible Copy Protected
Audio CD
Some copy protected CDs, which do
not comply with international audio
CD standards (Red Book), may not
play on your car audio. Please note
that inabilities to properly play a copy
protected CD may indicate that the
CD is defective, not the CD player.
Using a cellular phone or a two- way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.

Multimedia System
When using a communication
system such as a cellular phone
or a radio set inside the vehicle, a
separate external antenna must
be fitted. When a cellular phone
or a radio set is used with an
internal antenna alone, it may
interfere with the vehicle's electri-
cal system and adversely affect
safe operation of the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone
or set up the hands-free calling
feature.
WARNING

NOTE:
Order of playing files (folders) :
1. Song playing order : to sequentially.
2. Folder playing order :
❋ If no song file is contained in the
folder, that folder is not displayed.

Do not stare at the screen
while driving. Staring at the
screen for prolonged periods
of time could lead to traffic
accidents.
Do not disassemble, assem-
ble, or modify the audio sys-
tem. Such acts could result in
accidents, fire, or electric
shock.
Using the phone while driving
may lead to a lack of attention of
traffic conditions and increase
the likelihood of accidents. Use
the phone feature after parking
your vehicle, or set up hands-
free calling feature.
Use caution not to spill water
or liquids near the audio
device. Doing so may lead to a
product malfunction or intro-
duce an electrical short cir-
cuit.
WARNING

Do not place beverages close tothe audio system. Spilling bever-
ages may lead to system mal-
function.
If your audio system is not work- ing properly, have your vehicle
audio system inspected by an
authorized Hyundai dealer.
Placing the audio system within an electromagnetic environment
may result in noise interference.
Use caution to keep chemicals such as perfumes, cosmetics,
sun screen lotions, hand sanitiz-
ers, or air fresheners from con-
tacting any interior components.
Doing so may cause damage or
discoloration.
