Installation & Operation

How HD RadioTM Technology Works

Basically, digital HD Radio receivers work the same as a conventional radio. There’s a signal on one end and a receiver on the other. But there are a few key differences.

1.Instead of sending out one analog signal, stations send out a bundled signal – both analog and digital. Because it is digital, textual data such as traffic, stock info and song titles can be sent out, as well.

2.HD Radio technology enables FM broadcasters to offer several new channels of digital programming in addition to their main station. To discover all of the new FM stations in your city, please visit www.hdradio.com.

3.Inevitably, radio signals bounce off objects, causing what is called multi-path dis- tortions. This is what causes the static in conventional radio receivers. Digital HD Radio receivers are designed to sort through reflected signals, reducing static, hiss, pops and fades.

4.Finally, the signals reach their destination. Both HD Radio broadcasts are free, with no subscription fee. To hear the digital broadcast, all you need is a digital HD Radio receiver. To learn more about HD Radio technology, and to find HD Radio stations, please visit www.hdradio.com.

Before You Install

To insure that the unit can be installed properly, temporarily layout the Cradle for the Control Module, Goose Neck Mount with Suction Base, and all modules and cables in the locations you have chosen to install them. Make sure the length of the cables is sufficient. Before final installation of the unit, temporarily connect the wiring and operate the unit to make sure the unit works properly.

•Please read and follow all instructions in this manual.

•Disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery terminal before starting installation. Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for proper instructions.

•The unit is designed for a 12 Volt DC negative ground operation system only.

Before installing the unit, make sure your vehicle is a 12 Volt DC negative ground system.

•Be sure to connect the wires according to the wiring diagram. Incorrect connec- tions may damage the unit, cause the unit to malfunction, or cause damage the vehicle's electrical system.

•Make sure all the connections are completely correct before turning on your unit.

•Do not open the unit. Modifying the unit will void the warranty and may damage the unit or cause the unit to malfunction or cause damage to the vehicle's electri- cal system.

•Use only the parts included with this unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts may cause damage to the vehicle or unit and void the warranty.

•If installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications to the vehicle, con- sult with your vehicle’s nearest dealership to avoid damaging your vehicle.

•Install the unit in a location where it shall not obstruct driver’s ability to safely oper- ate the vehicle, and cannot injure any passengers if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.

•Do not block this unit’s vents or heater panels. Blocking them will cause excessive heat to build up inside the unit and may result in fire.

•To avoid interference, keep the power supply away from the radio and antenna while in use.

•Please fasten all cables between the Power Adaptor, HD Radio Control Panel and the HD Radio Main module after installation.
