How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio and broadcasts of this type are availablein many areas of the United States. However,there are a few key differences:
Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-nal, stations send out a bundled signal –both analog and digital.
An HD Radio receiver can receive bothdigital and analog broadcasts. Dependingon the terrain and location of the vehicle(which will influence the signal strength),the receiver will determine which signal toreceive.

Activating and deactivating the HD Radio
™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driving through areas with weak HD signals(fringe areas), you may experience that theradio repeatedly switches between analog/digital and digital/analog reception. If this hap-pens, it may be desirable to switch HD off. Carry out the following to activate or deacti- vate HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2. Press
Media and AM/FM Radio.
3. Press
HD Radio AM or HD Radio FM to
activate/deactivate the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unable to receive digital broadcasts but it willcontinue to function as a conventional radio(analog AM/FM receiver). Please note thatwhen HD is switched off, it will not be possi-ble to tune in to sub-channels. Activating or deactivating HD Radio only affects the currently selected waveband, FMor AM.

HD Radio™ sub-channels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channelsoffering additional types of programming ormusic.
Sub-channels
Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels
If any sub-channels are available, they will lis- ted below the main channel on the screen. Inthis example, WILD-FM HD2 is a sub-chan-nel.
Selecting sub-channels
To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), tap the station on the screen or press the forward/back arrow keys on the right-side steering wheel keypad or below the screen. Sub-channels can also be saved as radio favorites. If you tap a sub-channel favorite, it may takeup to
6 seconds before the channel becomes
audible. If you tap a station while you are out of digital range of the transmitter,
No

Limitations
Main channel vs. sub-channels (FM only)
: The main channel is the only chan-
nel that can receive in hybrid mode (bothdigital and analog). If a frequency has sub-channels, they are broadcast in digitalmode only. The main FM channel will bedisplayed as, for example, "WRIF-FMHD1". The sub-FM channels will be dis-played as"WRIF-FM HD2", "WRIF-FMHD3", etc.
Reception coverage area
: Due to current
IBOC transmitter power limitations, thereception coverage area in digital mode issomewhat more limited than the station'sanalog coverage area. Be aware that, likeall radio transmission technology, terrain,time of day, vegetation and buildings canhave a positive or negative effect on radioreception.
Analog to digital/digital to analogblending
: Analog to digital blending will
occur as the signal strength reaches a pre-set threshold in the receiver. This will benoticeable in fringe areas (areas with weakreception) and is normal.
