the west coast. Both of them direct their signals north. These signals are then relayed throughout the radio reception area by a network of ground repeater stations. The satellite radio signals are transmitted as “line of sight” signals. The line of sight signals can be blocked by objects such as buildings, but the network of repeater stations allows signal cover- age within urban areas such as cities.

You may experience problems in receiving Sirius XMTM satellite radio signals in the following situations. . If you are driving northward in a coastal area Because the satellite radio antenna is located on the windshield, the signal comes from the south and may not be able to reach the antenna in some circumstances when you are driving north.

& Displaying satellite radio ID

of tuner

When you activate satellite radio, you should have your satellite radio tuner ID ready because each tuner is identified by its unique satellite radio tuner ID. The satellite radio ID will be needed when you activate satellite radio and receive satellite radio customer support. The satellite radio ID can be found on the audio display by tuning the channel to “0”. Turn the “TUNE/TRACK/CH” dial to select the satellite radio channel. NOTE For Sirius, change the display to an indication mode other than the channel number after performing the above operation.

If you are driving next to a tall vehicle (such as a truck or a bus) that blocks the signal . If you are driving in a valley where the surrounding hills or peaks block the signal from the south . If you are driving on a mountain road where the southern direction is blocked by mountains

. If you are driving in an area with tall trees that block the signal (10 m or more), for example on a road that goes through a dense forest . The signal can become weak in some areas that are not covered by the repeater station network.

Please note that these may be other unforeseen circumstances when there are problems with the reception of Sirius XMTM satellite radio signals.

! Bluetooth® It is possible to connect a cell phone to the in-vehicle equipment through the Blue- tooth® format (wireless) to make a phone call from the in-vehicle equipment or take an incoming phone call. Since the Bluetooth® format is wireless, a connection between the in-vehicle equip- ment and the cell phone can be made without placing them in close proximity of each other. The cell phone can be used with it left in the breast pocket or bag. NOTE . The Hands-free system may not operate properly under the following conditions.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter- ference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter- ference by one or more of the following measures. . Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. . Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. . Connect the equipment into an out- let on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. . Consult enced radio/TV technician for help. .

This transmitter must not be co- located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

& Safety precautions

WARNING

. For safety reasons, avoid operat- ing the cell phone while driving. . Do not make a phone call while driving. When you have an in- coming call, stop the vehicle in a safe location before taking the incoming phone call. When you have to absolutely take a phone call, tell the caller “I’ll call you back”. And then call the caller back after stopping the vehicle in a safe location.

CAUTION

. Do not leave the cell phone in the vehicle. The temperature in the vehicle may become extremely high and cause a malfunction of the cell phone.

. When using the cell phone, be careful not to get it close to the in-vehicle equipment. Getting it too close to the in-vehicle equip- ment may result in deterioration in tone quality or a poor connect- ing condition.

. In the frequency band used by this equipment, along with indus- trial, scientific and medical equipment such as a microwave oven, radio stations (a license is required) to be used by the production line in the factory to identify movable bodies, specific small power radio stations (a license is not required) and ama- teur radio stations (a license is required) are being operated. (These three types of radio sta- tions are hereinafter referred to as “other radio stations.”) Before using this equipment, be sure to check if “other radio stations” are being operated in the vicinity.
