How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the
radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal
is then received 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 pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in some cases the signal com-
ing to your vehicle may not be strong and
clear. This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station, close-
ness of other strong radio stations or the
presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.

AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long, low frequency radio waves can fol-
low the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmos-
phere. In addition, they curve around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage. 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 at
short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by build-
ings, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listening con-
ditions which might lead you to believe a
problem exists with your radio. The fol-
lowing conditions are normal and do not
indicate radio trouble: Fading - As your vehicle moves away
from the radio station, the signal 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 trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering nois-
es to occur. Reducing the treble level
may lessen this effect until the distur-
bance clears.

Station Swapping - As a FM signalweakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the clear-
est signal. If this occurs, select another
station with a stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being received from several directions
can cause distortion or fluttering. This
can be caused by a direct and reflect-
ed 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.
Satellite radio reception
You may experience difficulties in receiv-
ing Sirius XM®Satellite Radio signals in
the following situations.
If you are driving in a tunnel or a cov- ered parking area.
If you are driving beneath the top level of a multi-level freeway.
If you drive under a bridge.
If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (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 moun-
tains.
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 forest.
The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the SIR-
IUS repeater network.
There may be other unforeseen circum-
stances leading to reception problems
with the SIRIUS satellite radio signal.

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 equip-
ment. In such a case, try to operate
mobile devices as far from the audio
equipment as possible.
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 inter-
nal antenna alone, it may interfere with
the vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of the
vehicle.
WARNING- Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone while
driving. Stop at a safe location to
use a cellular phone.
WARNING- Driver Distraction
Do not stare at the screen while
driving. Staring at the screen for
prolonged periods of time could
lead to traffic accidents.
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
the vehicle.
WARNING- Audio System
Do not disassemble, assemble, or
modify the audio system. Such acts
could result in fire or electric
shock.
WARNING- Antenna
Do not touch the antenna during
thunder or lightening as such acts
may lead to lightning induced elec-
tric shock.
CAUTION
Refrain from use if the screen isblank or no sound can be heard as these signs may indicate productmalfunction.

Adjust the volume to levels that allowthe driver to hear sounds from outside
of the vehicle. Driving in a state where
external sounds cannot be heard may
lead to accidents.
Pay attention to the volume setting when turning the device on. A sudden
output of extreme volume upon turning
the device on could lead to hearing
impairment. (Adjust the volume to a
suitable levels before turning off the
device.) Turn on the car ignition before using
the audio system. Do not operate the
audio system for long periods of time
with the ignition turned off; such opera-
tions may lead to battery discharge.
In case of product malfunction, please contact your place of purchase or After
Service center.
Placing the audio system within an electromagnetic environment may
result in noise interference.CAUTION
Do not subject the device to severe shock or impact. Directpressure onto the front side of the monitor may cause damage tothe LCD or touch screen.
