radio NISSAN ARMADA 2007 1.G Owners Manual

The cargo light on the overhead trim has a three-
position switch. To operate, push the switch to
the desired position.
ON: The light is illuminated.
Normal (center) position: The light illuminates
when the lift gate or glass hatch is opened. The
light turns off when the lift gate or glass hatch is
closed.
OFF: The light does not illuminate regardless of
lift gate position or lock status.The HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of up
to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver:
cWill operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.
cIs powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLinkTwill retain all program-
ming.
Once the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases) . Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information refer to “Program-
ming HomeLinkT” later in this section.
WARNING
cDo not use the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
cDuring the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
cYour vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver.

ADJUSTING THE SCREEN
To adjust the quality of the screen, refer to “HOW
TO USE THE SETTING BUTTON” in this section.
cWhen it is difficult to see in the rearward
direction due to shady conditions, press the
ENTER button to make objects in the moni-
tor brighter.
cTo change the brightness, press the ENTER
button again, turn the key switch OFF or shift
to R (Reverse) and wait for 10 seconds.
OPERATING TIPS
cWhen the selector lever is shifted to R (Re-
verse) , the monitor screen automatically
changes to the rearview monitor mode.
However, the radio can be heard.
cIt may take some time until the rearview
monitor is displayed after the selector lever
has been shifted to R (Reverse) . Objects
may be distorted momentarily until the rear-
view monitor screen is displayed completely.
When the selector lever is returned to a
position other than R (Reverse) , it may take
some time until the screen changes. Objects
on the screen may be distorted until they are
completely displayed.cWhen the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.
cWhen strong light directly enters the cam-
era, objects may not be displayed clearly.
cVertical lines may be seen in objects on the
screen. This is due to strong reflected light
from the bumper. This is not a malfunction.
cThe screen may flicker under fluorescent
light. This is not a malfunction.
cThe colors of objects on the rearview moni-
tor may differ somewhat from those of the
actual object.
cWhen the contrast of objects is low at night,
pressing the ENTER button may not change
the brightness.
cObjects on the monitor may not be clear in a
dark place or at night.
cIf dirt, rain or snow attaches to the camera,
the rearview monitor may not display ob-
jects. Clean the camera.
cDo not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the camera. This will cause discolora-
tion. To clean the camera, wipe with a cloth
dampened with a diluted mild cleaning agent
and then wipe with a dry cloth.cDo not damage the camera as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
cDo not use body wax on the camera window.
Wipe off the wax with a clean cloth damp-
ened with mild detergent diluted with water.

RADIO
Turn the ignition key to the ACC or ON position
and press the PWR (power)/VOL (volume) knob
to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio with
the engine not running, the key should be turned
to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance ra-
dio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the qual-
ity of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These char-
acteristics are completely normal in a given re-
ception area, and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.Reception conditions will constantly change be-
cause of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other ve-
hicles can work against ideal reception. De-
scribed below are some of the factors that can
affect your radio reception.
FM RADIO RECEPTION
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 – 30
miles (40 – 48 km) , with monaural (single chan-
nel) FM having slightly more range than stereo
FM. External influences may sometimes interfere
with FM station reception even if the FM station is
within 25 miles (40 km) . The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance between
the transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a
line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same
characteristics as light. For example, they will
reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away 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 increased distance
from the station transmitter) static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control to reduce treble response.Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and reflected
signals reach the receiver at the same time. The
signals may cancel each other, resulting in mo-
mentary 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 be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics, AM signals are also sub-
ject 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 turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped)
When the satellite radio is first installed or the
battery has been replaced, the satellite radio may
not work properly. This is not a malfunction. Wait
more than 10 minutes with satellite radio ON and
