Antenna
Shark fin antenna (1, if equipped)
The shark fin antenna will receive the
transmit data.
(for example : GPS and DAB signal)
Glass antenna (2)
Yo u r v e h i c l e u s e s a g l a s s a n t e n n a t o
receive both AM and FM signals.
•Do not clean the inside of the
rear window glass with a cleaner
or use a scraper to remove for-
eign deposits as this may cause
damage to the antenna elements.
•Avoid adding metallic coatings
such as Ni, Cd, and so on. These
can degrade the receiving AM
and FM broadcast signals.
•To prevent damage to the rear
glass antenna, never use sharp
instruments or window cleaner
containing abrasives to clean
the window. Clean the inside
surface of the rear glass window
with a piece of soft cloth.
•When putting a sticker on the
inside surface of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to damage to
the rear glass antenna.
•Do not put sharp instruments
nearby the rear glass antenna.
•Tinted rear window may affect the
proper functioning of the antenna.

How vehicle audio works
AM and FM radio signals are broad-
cast from transmitter towers located
around your city. They are intercept-
ed by the radio antenna on your vehi-
cle. This signal is then processed by
the radio and sent to your vehicle
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has
reached your vehicle, the precise
engineering of your audio system
ensures the best possible quality
reproduction. However, in some
cases the signal coming to your vehi-
cle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors, such as
the distance from the radio station,
closeness of other strong radio sta-
tions or the presence of buildings,
bridges or other large obstructions in
the area.
AM broadcasts can be received at
greater distances than FM broad-
casts. This is because AM radio
waves are transmitted at low fre-
quencies. These long distance, low
frequency radio waves can follow the
curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight. In addition, they
curve around obstructions resulting
in better signal coverage.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the ear th's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade within short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, and obstructions. This can lead
to undesirable or unpleasant listen-
ing conditions which might lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are
normal and do not indicate radio
trouble:
•Fading - As your vehicle moves
away from the radio station, the
signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another
stronger station.
•Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears.
•Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency
may begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station with a
stronger signal.
•Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig-
nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.

Caring for disc
•If the temperature inside the car is too
high, open the car windows to venti-
late before using the system.
•It is illegal to copy and use
MP3/WMA files without permission.
Use CDs that are created only by
lawful means.
•Do not apply volatile agents, such
as benzene and thinner, normal
cleaners and magnetic sprays
made for analogue disc onto CDs.
•To prevent the disc surface from
getting damaged, hold CDs by the
edges or the center hole only.
•Clean the disc surface with a piece
of soft cloth before playback (wipe
it from the center to the outside
edge).
•Do not damage the disc surface or
attach pieces of sticky tape or
paper.
•Make certain only CDs are insert-
ed into the CD player (Do not insert
more than one CD at a time).
•Keep CDs in their cases after use to
protect them from scratches or dirt.
•Depending on the type of CD-
R/CD-RW CDs, certain CDs may
not operate normally according to
the manufacturing companies. In
such circumstances, continued
use may cause malfunctions to
your audio system.
Information
- Playing an Incompatible
Copy Protected Audio CD
Some copy protected CDs, which do
not comply with international audio
CD standards (Red Book), may not
play on your car audio. Please note
that inabilities to properly play a copy
protected CD may indicate that the
CD is defective, not the CD player.

• Precautions upon Writing CDs
1. In all cases except when creating
multisession discs, check the
close session option before creat-
ing the disc. Though product mal-

check whether the session state is
closed (approximately 25 sec-
onds). (Additional time may also
be required depending on the
number of folders or files.)

other extensions to MP3/WMA
may result in product malfunction.
3. When naming files with
MP3/WMA file extensions, write
using only Korean and English.
(Languages other than Korean
and English are not supported and
are displayed as blank.)

Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does not
mean that something is wrong with
the audio equipment. In such a case,
try to operate mobile devices as far
from the audio equipment as possible.
When using a communication sys-
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa-
rate external antenna must be fitted.
When a cellular phone or a radio set
is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the vehi-
cle's electrical system and adversely
affect safe operation of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Order of playing files (folders) :
1. Song playing order : to
sequentially.
2. F o l d e r p l ay i n g o rd e r :
❋If no song file is contained in the
folder, that folder is not displayed.
NOTICE
Do not use a cellular phone
while driving. Stop at a safe
location to use a cellular phone.
