CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 2010 Owners Manual

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static
can occur during normal radio
reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories, and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about
16 to 65 km (10 to 40 miles).
Although the radio has a built-in
electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference,
some static can occur, especially
around tall buildings or hills, causing
the sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations
boost the power levels during the
day, and then reduce these levels
during the night. Static can also
occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio
reception. When this happens, try
reducing the treble on the radio.
XM™ Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives
digital radio reception from
coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada.
Just as with FM, tall buildings or hills
can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade
in and out. In addition, traveling
or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels may
cause loss of the XM signal for
a period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle’s radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone’s battery,
or simply having the phone on.
This interference can cause
an increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If static
is received while listening to the
radio, unplug the cellular phone and
turn it off.
Backglass Antenna
The AM-FM antenna is integrated
with the rear window defogger,
located in the rear window. Make
sure that the inside surface of
the rear window is not scratched
and that the lines on the glass are
not damaged. If the inside surface
is damaged, it could interfere
with radio reception. For proper
radio reception, the antenna
connector needs to be properly
attached to the post on the glass.
Infotainment System 6-13

If a cellular telephone antenna
needs to be attached to the glass,
make sure that the grid lines for
the AM-FM antenna are not
damaged. There is enough space
between the grid lines to attach
a cellular telephone antenna without
interfering with radio reception.
Notice:Using a razor blade or
sharp object to clear the inside
rear window can damage the rear
window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.Notice:Do not apply aftermarket
glass tinting with metallic lm.
The metallic lm in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
your backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Satellite Radio Antenna
For vehicles with XM™ Satellite
Radio Service, the antenna is
located on the decklid of the vehicle.
Keep the antenna clear of
obstructions for clear radio
reception.
Audio Players
CD Player
The CD player can play audio CDs
and MP3 CDs.
The CD player will not play
8 cm (3 inches) CDs.
Care of CDs
Sound quality can be reduced due to
disc quality, recording method,
quality of the music recorded, and
how the disc has been handled.
Handle discs carefully and store
them in their original cases or other
protective cases away from direct
sunlight and dust. If the bottom
surface of a disc is damaged, the
disc may not play properly or at all.
Do not touch the bottom surface of a
disc while handling it; this could
damage the surface. Pick up discs by
grasping the outer edges or the edge
of the hole and the outer edge.
6-14 Infotainment System

If the bottom surface of a disc is dirty,
take a soft lint free cloth, or dampen
a clean soft cloth in a mild neutral
detergent solution mixed with water,
and clean it. Wipe the disc from the
center to the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not add a label to a disc, as it
could get caught in the CD player.
If a label is needed, label the top of
the recorded disc with a marking pen.
Do not use disc lens cleaners
because they could contaminate the
lens of the disc optics and damage
the CD player.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD,
or more than one CD is inserted
into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched
or damaged CDs, the CD player
could be damaged. While using
the CD player, use only CDs in
good condition without any label,
load one CD at a time, and keep
the CD player and the loading slot
free of foreign materials, liquids,
and debris.Control Buttons
