makers, cardiac resynchroniza-
tion therapy-pacemakers or 
implantable cardioverter defibril-
lators should ma intain a reason-
able distance between 
themselves and the Bluetooth
® 
antennas. The radio waves may

ers, cardiac resynchronization 
therapy-pacemakers or implant-
able cardioverter defibrillators 
should consult the manufacturer 
of the device for information 
about its operation under the 
influence of radio waves. Radio 
waves could have unexpected 
effects on the operation of such 
medical devices.
NOTICE
Do not leave your portable player 
in the vehicle. In particular, high

5-10.Tips for operating the audio/visual system
●The use of a cellular phone inside 
or near the vehicle may cause a 
noise from the speakers of the 
audio/visual system which you are 
listening to. However, this does 
not indicate a malfunction.
Usually, a problem with radio 
reception does not mean there 
is a problem with the radio  it 
is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings 
and terrain can interfere with FM 
reception. Power lines or phone 
wires can interfere with AM sig-
nals. And of course, radio sig-
nals have a limited range. The 
farther the vehicle is from a sta-
tion, the weaker its signal will 
be. In addition, reception condi-
tions change constantly as the 
vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception 
problems that probably do not 
indicate a problem with the radio 
are described.
■FM
Fading and drifting stations: 
Generally, the effective range of  FM is about 25 miles (40 km). 
Once outside this range, you 
may notice fading and drifting, 
which increase with the distance 
from the radio transmitter. They 
are often accompanied by dis-
tortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are 
reflective, making it possible for 
2 signals to reach the vehicle’s 
antenna at the same time. If this 
happens, the signals will cancel 
each other out, causing a 
momentary flutter or loss of 
reception.
Static and fluttering: These 
occur when signals are blocked 
by buildings, trees or other large 
objects. Increasing the bass 
level may reduce static and flut-
tering.
Station swapping: If the FM sig-
nal being listened to is inter-
rupted or weakened, and there 
is another strong station nearby 
on the FM band, the radio may 
tune in the second station until 
the original signal can be picked 
up again.
■AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are 
reflected by the upper atmo-
sphere  especially at night. 
These reflected signals can 
interfere with those received 
directly from the radio station, 
causing the radio station to 
sound alternately strong and 
weak.

3285-10. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
COROLLA H/B_U
Station interference: When a 
reflected signal and a signal 
received directly from a radio 
station are very nearly the same 
frequency, they can interfere 
with each other, making it diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
Static: AM is easily affected by 
external sources of electrical 
noise, such as high tension 
power lines, lightening or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
■SiriusXM
 Cargo loaded on the roof lug-
gage carrier, especially metal 
objects, may adversely affect 
the reception of SiriusXM Sat-
ellite Radio.
 Alternation or modifications 
carried out without appropri-
ate authorization may invali-
date the user’s right to 
operate the equipment.
