HD Radio ™ Information (If Available)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver that allows
it to receive digital broadcasts (where
available) in addition to the analog
broadcasts, it already receives. Digital
broadcasts provide a better sound quality
than analog broadcasts with free,
crystal-clear audio and no static or
distortion. For more information, and a
guide to available stations and
programming, please visit
www.hdradio.com.
When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
you may notice the following indicators on
your screen:
335
Transit Connect (CHC) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing MyFord Touch
™

The HD logo either blinks when acquiring
a digital station, and then stays solid when
digital audio is playing, or is grey when
acquiring a digital station, and then
changes to orange when digital audio is
playing. When this logo is available, you
may also see Title and Artist fields
on-screen.
The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts.
The highlighted numbers signify available
digital channels where new or different
content is available. HD1 signifies the main
programming status and is available in
analog and digital broadcasts. Other
multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are
only available digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to
download later when you are on an
acquired HD Radio station and the feature
is on.
To turn the feature on and use it, select
AM or FM and the select: Action and Description

TAG Button When you hear a song you, select:

The system automatically saves the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music player (if supported) when

transfers the tag to your player (if already connected) and a
pop-up confirms the transfer.
Tag
When you access iTunes with your portable music player, the
tags appear to you as a reminder. The system allows you to
tag up to approximately 100 songs. For a list of devices that

Action and Description
Message
Allows you to hear a brief sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD Radio reception is on,
although it does not scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may
see the HD logo appear if the station has a digital broadcast.
Scan
Allows you to save an active channel as a memory preset.
Touch and hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. Sound
returns when finished. When switching to an HD2 or HD3
memory preset, the sound mutes before the digital audio
plays, because the system has to reacquire the digital signal.
Memory presets
Note: As with any saved radio station, 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 station may mute due to
weak signal strength.
Reception area
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back to the
analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7
multicast channels, 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 the station in the analog
version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio
station, it shifts to the digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station
changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from
analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.
