panel, press and hold the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons
until the setting is correct.

allow you to select between displaying actual time con-
tinuously or information related to the mode which the
radio is in (i.e. in Radio mode, the radio frequency is

When the radio is off, time will not be displayed unless
the TIME button is pressed, and then the time will only
be displayed for 5 seconds. This function will operate

You can ask your dealer to enable the digital clock to be

2. Press the H button to set hours or the M button to set
minutes. The time setting will increase each time you
press a button.
RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Broadcast Signals
Your new radio will provide excellent reception under
most operating conditions. Like any system, however, car
radios have performance limitations, due to mobile op-
eration and natural phenomena, which might lead you to
believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these “ap-
parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.
