Operating Tips for Audio
System
WARNING
Always adjust the audio while the
vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the
vehicle operation which could lead to
a serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.
CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level
that allows you to hear sounds
outside of the vehicle including car
horns and particularly emergency
vehicle sirens.
NOTE
lTo prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio system
on for a long period of time when the
engine is not running.
lIf a cellular phone or CB radio is used in
or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to
occur from the audio system, however, this
does not indicate that the system has been
damaged.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
Do not insert any objects, other than CDs,
into the slot.
qRadio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.
Station 2 Station 1Ionosphere
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40―50 km (25―30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.
FM Station
40—50km
(25—30 miles)
Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.
AM wave FM wave
FM wave
100—200 km (60—120 miles)Ionosphere
Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days
may provide better reception than clear
days.

Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the reflected signal at
the same time. This causes a slight delay
in reception and may be heard as a broken
sound or a distortion. This problem may
also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.
Reflected wave
Direct
Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.
Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from
the transmitter. Reception in such fringe
areas is characterized by sound breakup.
Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are
extremely strong, so the result is noise and
sound breakup at the radio receiver.
Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.

addition, do not change the audio file
extension. Otherwise, the unit will
not recognize the file correctly
resulting in noise or a malfunction.
NOTE
lPlayback may not be possible depending on
the type and condition of the USB flash
memory even if the audio file complies with
the standard above.
lA copyright protected WMA/AAC file
cannot be played in this unit.
lThe order of the music data stored in the
device may differ from the playback order.
lTo prevent loss or damage of stored data,
we recommend that you always back up
your data.
lIf a device exceeds the maximum electric
current value of 1,000 mA, it may not
operate or recharge when connected.
lDo not pull out the USB device while in the
USB mode (only pull it out while in FM/AM
radio or CD mode).
lThe device will not operate if the data is
password protected.

qOperating Tips for iPod
This unit supports playback of music files
recorded to an iPod.
iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc.,
registered in the U.S. and other countries.
The iPod may not be compatible
depending on the model or OS version. In
this case, an error message is displayed.
CAUTION
ØRemove the iPod when it is not in
use. Because the iPod is not
designed to withstand excessive
changes in temperature inside the
cabin, it could be damaged or the
battery may deteriorate due to the
excessive temperature or humidity
inside the cabin if it is left in the
vehicle.
ØIf data in the iPod is lost while it is
connected to the unit, Mazda
cannot guarantee recovery of any
lost data.
ØIf the iPod battery is deteriorated,
the iPod may not recharge and
playback may not be possible
when it is connected to the unit.
ØFor details on using the iPod, refer
to the iPod instruction manual.
ØWhen connecting the iPod to a
USB port, all commands are made
from the audio unit. iPod control is
not possible.
NOTE
The audio unit cannot display images or
videos stored in an iPod.
