HD Radio ™ Information (If
Available)
Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
available in all markets.
HD Radio technology is the digital
evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
system has a special receiver which
allows it to receive digital broadcasts
(where available) in addition to the
analog broadcasts it already receives.
Digital broadcasts provide a better
sound quality than analog broadcasts
with free, crystal-clear audio and no
static or distortion. For more
information, and a guide to available
stations and programming, please
visit www.hdradio.com. When this feature is enabled and you
are tuned to a station broadcasting
HD Radio technology, you may notice
the following indicators on your
screen:
The HD Radio logo blinks when a
digital station is being acquired and is
solid when digital audio is playing.
When this logo is available, you may
also see Title and Artist fields
on-screen .

MyLincoln Touch
™E142616

The multicast indicator appears in FM
mode (only) if the current station is
broadcasting multiple digital
broadcasts. The numbers that are
highlighted signify available digital
channels where new or different
content is available. HD1 signifies the
main programming status and is
available in analog and digital
broadcasts. Any additional multicast
stations (HD2 through HD7) are only
broadcast digitally.
TAG allows you to save a song to
download later. When you are on an
acquired HD Radio station, the TAG
button is available (provided the
feature has been turned on). To use
the tag feature:
1. Press AM or FM > Options > TAG Button > On.
2. When you hear a song you like, touch TAG. 3. The system automatically saves
the song's information and
transfers it to your portable music
player (if supported) when it is
connected to the system. If your
music player is connected at the
time, the system automatically
transfers the tag to your player and
a pop-up confirms the transfer.
4. When you access iTunes® with your portable music player, the
tags appear to you as a reminder.
The system allows you to tag up
to approximately 100 songs. For a
list of devices that support tagging,
refer to www.SYNCMyRide.com,
www.SYNCMyRide.ca or
www.syncmaroute.ca.
When HD Radio broadcasts are active,
you can access the following
functions: You Can
When You Select
Hear a brief sampling of all available stations.
Scan
This feature still works when HD Radio reception is
activated, although it does not scan for HD2-HD7
channels. You may see the HD logo appear if the
station has a digital broadcast.
When the channel is active on-screen, press and
hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
There is a brief mute, then the sound returns signi-
fying it was saved. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the digital
audio is played as the system must once again
acquire the digital signal. As with any saved radio
station, you cannot access the saved station if your
vehicle is outside the station's reception area.

HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential Reception Issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you
are on the fringe of the reception area, the station
may mute due to weak signal strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back
to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast
is available again. However, if you are listening to
any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels,
the station mutes and stays muted unless it is able
to connect to the digital signal again.
Reception area
When a station is first received (aside from HD2-
HD7 multicast stations), the system first plays the
station in the analog version and then, if the receiver
verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shifts
to the digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change when
the station changes from analog to digital. This shift
from analog to digital sound or digital back to
analog, is known as blending.
Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues
found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio
technology. Every station is
independently owned and operated.
These stations are responsible for
ensuring all audio streams and data
fields are accurate.
