56 Station Swapping - As a 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 astronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig- nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by adirect and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies.
If this occurs, select another stationuntil the condition has passed.
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 notmean that something is wrong with the
audio equipment. In such a case, use
the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
CAUTION
When using a communicationsystem such as a cellular phoneor a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antennamust be fitted. When a cellularphone or a radio set is usedwith an internal antenna alone, it may interfere with the vehi-cle's electrical system andadversely affect safe operation of the vehicle.
WARNING
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.

ignition is turned on. The USB
device may not operate properly if
the car ignition is turned on or off
with the USB device connected.
Be careful for static electricity when connecting/disconnecting
USB devices.
Encoded MP3 Players will not be recognized when connected as an
external device.
When connecting an external USB device, the vehicle's audio system
may not recognize the USB
depending on what firmware is
used by USB device or what files
are on the USB.
Only products formatted with byte/sectors under 64Kbyte will be
recognized.
This device recognizes USB devices formatted in FAT 12/16/32
file formats. This device does not
recognize files in NTFS file for-mat. (Continued)(Continued)
Some USB devices may not be sup-
ported due to compatibility issues.
Avoid contact between the USB connector and bodily parts or for-
eign objects.
Repeated connecting/disconnect- ing of USB devices within short
periods of time may result in prod-
uct malfunction.
A strange noise may occur when disconnecting the USB.
Make sure to connect/disconnect external USB devices with the
audio power turned off.
The amount of time required to recognize the USB device may dif-
fer depending on the type, size or
file formats stored on the USB.
Such differences in time are not
indications of malfunctions.
The vehicle audio system only sup- ports USB devices designed to
play music files.
USB images and videos are not supported. (Continued)(Continued)
Do not use the USB I/F to charge
batteries or USB accessories that
generate heat. Doing so may lead
to worsened performance or dam-
age to the audio system.
The audio system may not recog- nize the USB device if separately
purchased USB hubs and exten-
sion cables are being used.
Connect the USB device directly
with the USB port of the vehicle.
When using mass storage USB devices with separate logical
drives, only files saved to the root
drive can be played.
Files may not properly operate if application programs are installed
on the USBs.
The audio system may not operate normally if MP3 Players, cellular
