WARNING - Distracted
driving
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol that may lead to an acci-
dent, severe personal injury,
and death. The driver’s primary
responsibility is in the safe and
legal operation of a vehicle, and
use of any handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle sys-
tems which take the driver’s
eyes, attention and focus away
from the safe operation of a
vehicle or which are not permis-
sible by law should never be
used during operation of the
vehicle.

How Vehicle Eadio Works
FM reception
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.
However, in some cases the signal
coming to your vehicle 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 reception
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.OJF045308L

FM radio station
FM broadcasts are transmitted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth'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
station with a stronger signal.
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 sig-
nal weakens, another more power-
ful 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.

✽NOTICE - Using the USB
Devices
• To use an external USB device,
make sure the device is not con-
nected when starting up the vehi-
cle. Connect the device after start-
ing up.
• If you start the engine when the USB device is connected, it may
damage the USB device. (USB
flashdrives are very sensitive to
electric shock.)
• If the engine is started up or turned off while the external USB
device is connected, the external
USB device may not work.
• The System may not play unau- thenticated MP3 or WMA files.
1) It can only play MP3 files with the compression rate between
8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
2) It can only play WMA music files with the compression rate
between 8Kbps ~ 320Kbps.
• Take precautions for static electric- ity when connecting or disconnect-
ing the external USB device. (Continued)(Continued)
• An encrypted MP3 PLAYER is
not recognizable.
• Depending on the condition of the external USB device, the connect-
ed external USB device can be
unrecognizable.
• When the formatted byte/sector setting of External USB device is
not either 512BYTE or
2048BYTE, then the device will
not be recognized.
• Use only a USB device formatted to FAT 12/16/32.
• USB devices without USB I/F authentication may not be recog-
nizable.
• Make sure the USB connection terminal does not come in contact
with the human body or other
objects.
• If you repeatedly connect or dis- connect the USB device in a short
period of time, it may break the
device. (Continued)(Continued)
• You may hear a strange noise
when connecting or disconnecting
a USB device.
• If you disconnect the external USB device during playback in USB
mode, the external USB device can
be damaged or may malfunction.
Therefore, disconnect the external
USB device when the audio is
turned off or in another mode.
(e.g, Radio)
• Depending on the type and capac- ity of the external USB device or
the type of files stored in the
device, there is a difference in the
time for recognition the device.
• Do not use the USB device for pur- poses other than playing music
files.
• Playing videos through the USB is not supported.
• Use of USB accessories such as rechargers or heaters using USB
I/F may lower performance or
cause trouble. (Continued)

• If you use devices such as a USB
hub purchased separately, the
vehicle’s audio system may not
recognize the USB device. In that
case, connect the USB device
directly to the multimedia termi-
nal of the vehicle.
• If the USB device is divided by log- ical drives, only the music files on
the highest-priority drive are rec-
ognized by car audio.
• Devices such as MP3 Player/ Cellular phone/Digital camera can
be unrecognizable by standard
USB I/F.
• Charging through the USB may not be supported in some mobile
devices.
• USB HDD or USB types liable to connection failures due to vehicle
vibrations are not supported. (i-
stick type)
• Some non-standard USB devices (METAL COVER TYPE USB)
can be unrecognizable. (Continued)(Continued)
• Some USB flash memory readers
(such as CF, SD, micro SD, etc.) or
external-HDD type devices can be
unrecognizable.
• Music files protected by DRM (DIG- ITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT)
are not recognizable.
• The data in the USB memory may be lost while using this audio.
Always back up important data on
a personal storage device.
• Please avoid using USB memory products
which can be used as
key chains or cellular
phone accessories as
they could cause damage to the
USB jack. Please make certain
only to use plug type connector
products.✽ ✽ NOTICE - Using iPod®Device
