Transmitter precautions
✽✽
NOTICE
The transmitter will not work if any
of following occur:
 The ignition key is in ignition switch.
 You exceed the operating distance limit (about 10 m [30 feet]).
 The battery in the transmitter is weak.
 Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
 The weather is extremely cold.
 The transmitter is close to a radio transmitter such as a radio station
or an airport which can interfere
with normal operation of the
transmitter.
When the transmitter does not work
correctly, open and close the door
with the ignition key. If you have a
problem with the transmitter, Kia
recommends to contact an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service partner. (Continued)(Continued)
 If the transmitter is in close prox-
imity to your cell phone or smart
phone, the signal from the trans-
mitter could be blocked by normal
operation of your cell phone or
smart phone. This is especially
important when the phone is
active such as making call, receiv-
ing calls, text messaging, and/or
sending/ receiving emails. Avoid
placing the transmitter and your
cell phone or smart phone in the
same pants or jacket pocket and
maintain adequate distance
between the two devices. CAUTION
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the partyresponsible for compliancecould void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If thekeyless entry system is inopera-tive due to changes or modifica- tions not expressly approved bythe party responsible for com-pliance, it will not be covered by your manufacturer’s vehiclewarranty.
CAUTION
Keep the transmitter away fromwater or any liquid. If the keylessentry system is inoperative due to exposure to water or liquids, itwill not be covered by your man-ufacturer vehicle warranty.
CAUTION
Keep the transmitter away fromelectromagnetic materials thatblocks electromagnetic waves to the key surface.

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 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 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 inthe 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, low frequency
radio waves can follow the curvature
of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition, they curve around obstruc-
tions so that they can provide better
signal coverage.

Audio system
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 eas-
ily affected by buildings, mountains,
or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening 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
signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select anotherstronger station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears. Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerfulsignal 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 signals being received from sever-
al directions can cause distortion
or fluttering. This can be caused bya direct and reflected signal from
the same station, or by signals
from two stations with close fre-
quencies. If this occurs, selectanother station until the conditionhas passed.

Using a mobile phone or a two-
way radio
When a mobile 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 mobile phone at a place as
far as possible from the audio equip-ment. Caring for disc
If the temperature inside the car is
too high, open the car windows to
ventilate before using the system.
It is illegal to copy and use MP3/WMA files without permis-
sion. 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 analogue disc onto CDs.
To prevent the disc surface from getting damaged, hold CDs by the
edges or the centre hole only.
Clean the disc surface with a piece of soft cloth before playback (wipeit from the centre to the outsideedge).
Do not damage the disc surface or attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper.
Make certain only CDs are insert- ed into the CD player (Do not insertmore than one CD at a time).
Keep CDs in their cases after use to protect them from scratches or
dirt.
CAUTION
When using a communication
system such as a mobile phoneor a radio set inside the vehicle, a separate external antennamust be fitted. When a mobilephone or a radio set is used with 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 mobile phone
whilst driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a mobile phone.

NOTICE - USING THE USB
DEVICE
 To use an external USB device, make sure the device is not con-
nected when starting up the vehi-
cle. Connect the device after start-
ing up.
 If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.)
 If the engine is started up or turned off whilst the external USB
device is connected, the external
USB device may not work.
 The System may not play inau- thentic MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
 Take precautions for static elec- tricity when connecting or discon-
necting the external USB device.
 An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is not recognizable. (Continued)(Continued)
 Depending on the condition of the
external USB device, the connect-
ed external USB device can be
unrecognizable.
 When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device is
not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
 Use only a USB device formatted to FAT 12/16/32.
 USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
 Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in contact
with the human body or other
objects.
 If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a short
period of time, it may break the
device.
 You may hear a strange noise when connecting or disconnecting
a USB device. (Continued)(Continued)
 If you disconnect the external USB
device during playback in USB
mode, the external USB device can
be damaged or may malfunction.
Therefore, disconnect the external
USB device when the audio is
turned off or in another mode.
(e.g, Radio, CD)
 Depending on the type and capac- ity of the external USB device or
the type of the files stored in the
device, there is a difference in the
time taken for recognition of the
device.
 Do not use the USB device for pur- poses other than playing music
files.
 Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
 Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB
I/F may lower performance or
cause trouble. (Continued)
