Action and descriptionMessage
Allows you to save an active channel as a memory preset. Touch and hold a memory preset slotuntil the sound returns. There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. Sound returnswhen the channel saves. When switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory preset, the sound mutesbefore the digital audio plays, because the system has to reacquire the digital signal.

Note:As with any station you save, you cannot access the saved station if your vehicle is outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you are on the fringe of the reception area, the stationmay mute due to weak signal strength.Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system changes back to the analog broadcast until the digitalbroadcast is available again. However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicastchannels, the station mutes and stays muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast stations), it first plays thestation in the analog version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shiftsto the digital version. Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change whenthe station changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from analog to digital sound ordigital back to analog sound.
