              Things  You  Need  to  Know
    WARNING 
  Always adjust the audio while the 
vehicle is stopped:  Do not adjust the audio control 
switches while driving the vehicle. 
Adjusting the audio while driving 
the vehicle is dangerous as it could 
distract your attention from the vehicle 
operation which could lead to a 
serious accident. 
  Even if the audio control switches are 
equipped on the steering wheel, learn 
to use the switches without looking 
down at them so that you can keep 
your maximum attention on the road 
while driving the vehicle.
   
  CAUTION 
  For the purposes of safe driving, 
adjust the audio volume to a level that 
allows you to hear sounds outside of 
the vehicle including car horns and 
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.
   
   NOTE
   To prevent the battery from being 
discharged, do not leave the audio 
system on for a long period of time 
when the engine is not running.
   If a cellular phone or CB radio is used 
in or near the vehicle, it could cause 
noise to occur from the audio system, 
however, this does not indicate that the 
system has been damaged.
     
  Do not spill any liquid on the audio 
system.
 
 
         Radio  Reception
    AM  characteristics
    AM signals bend around such things as 
buildings or mountains and bounce off the 
ionosphere.
  Therefore, they can reach longer distances 
than FM signals.
  Because of this, two stations may 
sometimes be picked up on the same 
frequency at the same time.

  Weak  signal  noise
    In  suburban  areas,  broadcast  signals 
become weak because of distance from the 
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas 
is characterized by sound breakup. 
 
  Strong  signal  noise
    This occurs very close to a transmitter 
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely 
strong, so the result is noise and sound 
breakup at the radio receiver.
 
 
  Station  drift  noise
    When a vehicle reaches the area of two 
strong stations broadcasting at similar 
frequencies, the original station may be 
temporarily lost and the second station 
picked up. At this time there will be some 
noise from this disturbance.
 
Station 2 
88.3 MHz
Station 1 
88.1 MHz
 
          Operating Tips for MP3
    MP3 stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3, 
which is standardized voice compression 
established by the ISO 
*1  working group 
(MPEG). 
  Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be 
compressed to approximately a tenth of 
the source data size.
  This  unit  plays  fi les with the extension 
(.mp3) as MP3 fi  les.
  
   *1   International  Organization  for 
Standardization
    
  CAUTION 
  Do not use an audio fi  le extension on 
fi  les other than audio fi  les. In addition, 
do not change the audio fi  le extension. 
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize 
the fi  le correctly resulting in noise or a 
malfunction.

          Operating Tips for WMA
    WMA  is  short  for  Windows  Media *1   Audio 
and is the audio compression format used 
by Microsoft 
*1 .
  Audio data can be created and stored at a 
higher compression ratio than MP3.
  This  unit  plays  fi les with the extension 
(.wma) as WMA  fi les.

and other countries.
    
  
  CAUTION 
  Do not use an audio fi  le extension on 
fi  les other than audio fi  les. In addition, 
do not change the audio fi  le extension. 
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize 
the fi  le correctly resulting in noise or a 
malfunction.
     WMA  fi les written under speci fi cations 
other than the indicated speci fi cation 
may not play normally or  fi les or folder 
names may not display correctly.
   The  fi le extension may not be provided 
depending on the computer operating 
system, version, software, or settings. In 
this case, add the  fi le extension “.wma” 
to the end of the  fi le name, and then 
write it to the memory.
    
          Operating  Tips  for  AAC
    AAC  stands  for  Advanced  Audio  Coding, 
which is standardized voice compression 
established by the ISO 
*1  working group 
(MPEG). Audio data can be created and 
stored at a higher compression ratio than 
MP3.
  This  unit  plays  fi les with the extensions 
(.aac/.m4a/.wav 
*2 ) as the AAC fi  les.
  CAUTION 
  Do not use an audio fi  le extension on 
fi  les other than audio fi  les. In addition, 
do not change the audio fi  le extension. 
Otherwise, the unit will not recognize 
the fi  le correctly resulting in noise or a 
malfunction.
     AAC  fi les written under speci fi cations 
other than the indicated speci fi cation 
may not play normally or  fi les or folder 
names may not display correctly.

   NOTE
   Playback may not be possible 
depending on the type and condition of 
the USB fl  ash memory even if the audio 
fi  le complies with the standard.
    A copyright protected WMA/AAC  fi le 
cannot be played in this unit.
     (Type B)    If a fi le name in the USB memory is too 
long, it could cause operation problems 
such as not being able to playback the 
song.
  (Recommended: Within 80 characters)    The order of the music data stored in 
the device may differ from the playback 
order.
   To prevent loss or damage of stored 
data, we recommend that you always 
back up your data.
   If a device exceeds the maximum 
electric current value of 1,000 mA, 
it may not operate or recharge when 
connected.
   Do not pull out the USB device while in 
the USB mode (only pull it out while in 
FM/AM radio mode).
   The device will not operate if the data is 
password protected.

          Operating Tips for iPod
    This unit supports playback of music  fi les 
recorded to an iPod.
  
  
*      iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc.,  registered in the U.S. and other 
countries.
    
  The iPod may not be compatible 
depending on the model or OS version. In 
this case, an error message is displayed.
  CAUTION 
  Remove the iPod when it is not in use. Because the iPod is not designed 
to withstand excessive changes in 
temperature inside the cabin, it could be 
damaged or the battery may deteriorate 
due to the excessive temperature or 
humidity inside the cabin if it is left in the 
vehicle.
  If data in the iPod is lost while it is connected to the unit, Mazda cannot 
guarantee recovery of any lost data.
  If the iPod battery is deteriorated, the iPod may not recharge and playback 
may not be possible when it is connected 
to the unit.
  Be careful not to pinch the iPod connecting cable when opening/closing 
the center console.
  For details on using the iPod, refer to the iPod instruction manual.
  When connecting the iPod to a USB port, all commands are made from the audio 
unit. iPod control is not possible.
     
   NOTE
  The audio unit cannot display images or 
videos stored in an iPod.

 Fuses
            Your  vehicle's  electrical  system  is 
protected by fuses.
  
  If any lights, accessories, or controls do 
not work, inspect the appropriate circuit 
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside 
element will be melted.
  
  If the same fuse blows again, avoid using 
that system and consult an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
         Fuse  Replacement
              Replacing  the  fuses  on  the  vehicle's  left 
side
    If the electrical system does not work, fi rst 
inspect the fuses on the vehicle's left side.
  
  
   1.   Make sure the ignition is switched off,  and other switches are off.
   2.   Open  the  fuse  panel  cover.
 
     3.   Pull the fuse straight out with the 
fuse puller provided on the fuse block 
located in the engine compartment.
 
 
   4.   Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is  blown.
 
Normal Blown
 
   5.   Insert a new fuse of the same amperage  rating, and make sure it  fi ts tightly. If 
it does not  fi t tightly, have an expert 
install it. We recommend an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer.
    If you have no spare fuses, borrow one  of the same rating from a circuit not 
essential to vehicle operation, such as 
the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.
  CAUTION 
  Always replace a fuse with a genuine 
Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same 
rating. Otherwise you may damage 
the electric system.
