Sirius Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
For optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep
luggage and other materials as far away from the
antenna as possible.
Antenna obstructions
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels,
freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree
foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with your
reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast-
repeating tower, a stronger signal may overtake a
weaker one and the audio system may mute.
Station overload
Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate
the interference and the audio system may mute.

Supported Media Players,
Formats and Metadata
Information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any
digital media player, including iPod,
Zune™, plays from device players, and
most USB drives. Supported audio
formats include MP3, WMA, WAV and
AAC.
It is also able to organize your indexed
media from your playing device by
metadata tags. Metadata tags, which
are descriptive software identifiers
embedded in the media files, provide
information about the file.
If your indexed media files contain no
information embedded in these
metadata tags, SYNC may classify
the empty metadata tags as
Unknown.
In order to playback video from your
iPod or iPhone, you must have a
special combination USB/RCA
composite video cable (which you can
buy from Apple). When you connect
the cable to your iPod or iPhone, plug
the other end into both the RCA jacks
and the USB port.
Bluetooth Audio
Your system allows you to stream
audio over your vehicle's speakers
from your connected,
Bluetooth-enabled cellular phone.
E142611
To access, press the lower
left corner on the
touchscreen, then select the
BT Stereo tab. Bluetooth Audio Voice Commands
E142599
If you are listening to a
Bluetooth audio device, press
the voice button on the
steering wheel control. When
prompted, say "Next song", "Pause",
"Play" or "Previous song".
If you are not listening to a Bluetooth
audio device, press the voice button
and, after the tone, say "Next song",
"Pause", "Play" or "Previous song".
A/V Inputs
WARNINGS
Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control,
crash and injury. We strongly
recommend that you use extreme
caution when using any device that
may take your focus off the road. Your
primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We
recommend against the use of any
handheld device while driving and
encourage the use of voice-operated
systems when possible. Make sure you
are aware of all applicable local laws
that may affect the use of electronic
devices while driving.
For safety reasons, do not
connect or adjust the settings on
your portable music player while your
vehicle is moving.
383
MyLincoln Touch™

WARNINGS
Store the portable music player
in a secure location, such as the
center console or the glove box, when
your vehicle is moving. Hard objects
may become projectiles in a crash or
sudden stop, which may increase the
risk of serious injury. The audio
extension cable must be long enough
to allow the portable music player to
be safely stored while your vehicle is
moving.
E142622
Your A/V inputs allow you to connect
an auxiliary audio/video source (such
as a gaming systems or a personal
camcorder) by connecting RCA cords
(not included) to these input jacks.
The jacks are yellow, red and white
and are located either behind a small
access door on the instrument panel
or in your center console.
You can also use the A/V inputs as an
auxiliary input jack to play music from
your portable music player over your
vehicle's speakers. Plug in your 1/8
inch (3.5 millimeter) RCA adapter into
the two left A/V input jacks (red and
white). Press the lower left corner of the
touchscreen, and then select
A/V In.
To use the auxiliary input jack feature,
make sure that your portable music
player is designed for use with
headphones and that it is fully
charged. You also need an audio
extension cable with stereo male
1/8-inch (3.5 millimeter) connectors
at one end and a RCA jack at the
other.
1. Switch off the engine, radio and portable music player. Set the
parking brake and put the
transmission in position P.
2. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone
output of your player and the other
end into the adapter in one of the
two left A/V input jacks (white or
red) inside the center console.
3. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select either a tuned
FM station or a CD (if there is a CD
already loaded into the system).
4. Adjust the volume as desired.
5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to ½ the
maximum.
6. Press the lower left corner on the touchscreen. Select the A/V In
tab. (You should hear audio from
your portable music player
although it may be low.)
7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the
level of the FM station or CD by
switching back and forth between
the controls.

In order to playback video from your
iPod or iPhone, you must have a
special combination USB/RCA
composite video cable (which you can
buy from Apple). When you connect
the cable to your iPod or iPhone, plug
the other end into both the RCA jacks
and the USB port.
Troubleshooting
• Do not connect the audio inputjack to a line level output. The jack
only works correctly with devices
that have a headphone output
with a volume control.
• Do not set the portable music player's volume level higher than
is necessary to match the volume
of the CD or FM radio as this
causes distortion and reduces
sound quality. • If the music sounds distorted at
lower listening levels, turn the
portable music player volume
down. If the problem persists,
replace or recharge the batteries
in the portable media player.
• Control the portable media player in the same manner when used
with headphones, as the auxiliary
input jack does not provide control
(such as Play or Pause) over the
attached portable media player.

If your vehicle is not equipped with
Navigation:
• Turn-by-turn directions appear inthe information display, in the
status bar of your touchscreen
system and on the SYNC Services
screen. You also receive driving
instructions from audible prompts.
• When on an active route, you can select Route Summary or Route
Status using the touchscreen
controls or voice commands to
view the Route Summary Turn
List or the Route Status ETA.
You can also turn voice guidance
on or off, cancel the route or
update the route. If you miss a turn, SYNC automatically
asks if you want the route updated.
Just say, "Yes" when prompted and
the system delivers a new route to
your vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with
Navigation, SYNC Services downloads
your requested destination to the
navigation system. The navigation
system then calculates the route and
provides driving instructions. See
Navigation (page 407).
Disconnecting from SYNC Services
1. Press and hold the hang-up phone
button on the steering wheel.
2. Say "Good-bye" from the SYNC Services main menu.
SYNC Services quick tips
You can personalize your Services feature to provide
quicker access to your most used or favorite
information. You can save address points, such as
work or home. You can also save favorite informa-
tion like sports teams, such as Detroit Lions, or a
news category. You can learn more about personal-
ization by logging onto www.SYNCMyRide.com.
Personalizing
Press the voice button at any time (while connected
to SYNC Services) to interrupt a voice prompt or an
audio clip (such as a sports report) and say your
voice command.
Push to interrupt
Your subscription is associated with your Bluetooth-
enabled cellular phone number, not your VIN
(Vehicle Identification Number). You can pair and
connect your phone to any vehicle equipped with
SYNC Services and continue enjoying your person-
alized services.
