2022 INFINITI QX60 radio antenna

from a station transmitter, the signals will
tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interference
from buildings, large hills or due to antenna
position, usually in conjunction with in-
creased distance from the station transmit-
ter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be
reduced by lowering the treble setting to
reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflec-
tive characteristics of FM signals, direct and
reflected signals reach the receiver at the
same time. The signals may cancel each
other, resulting in momentary flutter or loss
of sound.
AM radio reception
AM signals, because of their low frequency,
can bend around objects and skip along the
ground. In addition, the signals can bounce
off the ionosphere and be bent back to
earth. Because of these characteristics, AM
signals are also subject to interference as
they travel from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas
with many tall buildings. It can also occur for
several seconds during ionospheric turbu-
lence even in areas where no obstacles exist.Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic
lights.
HD RadioTMTechnology reception
HD Radio Technology reception needs to be
activated to receive HD Radio broadcasts.
“Radio Menu” (page 3-12)
This enables you to receive radio broadcasts
digitally (where available), providing a better
quality sound with clear reception. When
this feature is not activated or HD Radio
broadcasts are not available, you will receive
analog radio (AM/FM) broadcasts.
Satellite radio reception
When the satellite radio is used for the first
time or the battery has been replaced, the
satellite radio may not work properly. This is
not a malfunction. Wait more than 10
minutes with the satellite radio ON and the
vehicle outside of any metal or large building
for the satellite radio to receive all of the
necessary data.
SiriusXM® services require a subscription
after trial period and are sold separately or
as a package. The satellite service is avail-
able only in the 48 contiguous USA and DC.
SiriusXM® satellite service is also available in Canada; see www.siriusxm.ca.
The satellite radio performance may be
affected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the
satellite antenna.
A buildup of ice on the satellite radio
antenna can affect satellite radio perfor-
mance. Remove the ice to restore satellite
radio reception.

NECTION PORT
WARNING
Do not connect, disconnect or operate the
USB device while driving. Doing so can be
a distraction. If distracted you could lose
control of your vehicle and cause an
accident or serious injury.
CAUTION
.
Do not force the USB device into the
USB connection port. Depending on
the USB connection port, inserting
the USB device tilted or upside down
may damage the port. Make sure that

as in a tunnel, in an underground
parking garage, behind a tall building
or in a mountainous area.
— Your cellular phone is locked in order to prevent dialing.
. When the radio wave condition is not
ideal or ambient sound is too loud, it may
be difficult to hear the other person’s
voice during a call.
. Immediately after the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position, it may
not be possible to receive a call for a
short period of time.
. Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from
the in-vehicle phone module to prevent
tone quality degradation and wireless
connection disruption.
. While a cellular phone is connected
through the Bluetooth® wireless con-
nection, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.
. Some cellular phones or other devices
may cause interference or a buzzing
noise to come from the audio system
speakers. Storing the device in a differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate the noise.
. Refer to the cellular phone Owner’s
Manual regarding the telephone pairing
procedure specific to your phone, bat-
tery charging, cellular phone antenna,
etc.
. The antenna or battery display on the
monitor may not coincide with the
antenna or battery display of some
cellular phones.
. If reception between callers is unclear,
adjusting the incoming or outgoing call
volume may improve the clarity.
“Control buttons and touch screen
display” (page 2-2)
. The microphone is located near the map
light.
. To improve call quality, the microphone is
optimized to recognize the driver’s voice.
Speech from vehicle passengers may not
be captured by the Bluetooth® Hands-
Free Phone System.
. Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible to hear the caller’s voice
clearly as well as to minimize echo.
Reduce background noise as much as
possible by closing windows and point- ing HVAC vents away from the ceiling.

hind buildings or in mountainous
areas.
— The line is busy.
— The TCU (Telematics Control Unit) or other systems of your vehicle are
not working properly.
— It may not be possible to make an emergency call depending on the
severity of a collision and/or emer-
gency.
. Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Indivi-
duals who use a pacemaker should
contact the device manufacturer re-
garding any possible effects before
using the system.
. The TCU (Telematics Control Unit)
antenna is installed inside the upper
part of the instrument panel. An
occupant should not get any closer
to the antenna than specified by the
pacemaker manufacturer. The radio
waves from the TCU antenna may
adversely affect the operation of the
pacemaker while using the INFINITI
InTouch
TMServices.

SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
When a cellular phone is operated to make
a call, the hands-free function becomes
unavailable. Some models of a cellular phone do not switch
to the hands-free mode when they are operated
to make a call. This is not a malfunction. Make another call using the
hands-free function.
The other party’s voice cannot be heard.
There is no ringtone. The volume level is set to the minimum. Adjust the volume level.
A cellular phone is not connected.
Check the registration procedure, and then register
the cellular phone again.
Each volume level (ringtone, incoming voice
or outgoing voice) is different. Each volume level is not adjusted properly. Adjust each volume level properly.
The antenna display is different between
the touch screen display and a cellular
phone screen. Making or receiving a call is
unavailable even though the antenna dis-
play shows that it is possible to do so. The antenna display varies depending on the
model of cellular phone.
This does not indicate a malfunction. The antenna
display and remaining battery level shown on the
touch screen display may be different from those
shown on the cellular phone screen. Use them as a
reference.
A voice cannot be heard clearly when using
a cellular phone behind tall buildings. Some structures such as tall buildings, etc. may
cause irregular reflection of radio waves or
completely shut out radio waves that are used
for cellular phones. Move to a place without tall buildings.
Noise is heard when using a cellular phone
under/near areas of elevated railroads,
high voltage electric power cables, traffic
signals, neon billboards, etc. Electromagnetic waves that are generated from
radio devices may adversely affect the cellular
phone.
This is not a malfunction.
Noise is heard in the sound from the audio
system while using a cellular phone. Radio waves that are generated from a cellular
phone may adversely affect the sound from the
audio system. This is not a malfunction.
Sound skips or stutters. The cellular phone may have turned on the
wireless LAN (Wi-Fi). Turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi).
