You can:
Scan
Hear a brief sampling of all available stations.
This feature still works when HD Radio
reception is on, although it does not scan for
HD2-HD7 channels. You may see the HD logo
appear if the station has a digital broadcast.
To save a multicast
station as a preset
When the channel is active on-screen, press
and hold a memory preset slot until the sound
returns. There is a brief mute while the radio
saves the station. Sound returns when
finished. When recalling a HD2 or HD3
memory preset, there is a mute before the
digital audio plays, as the system must once
again acquire the digital signal.
As with any saved radio station, you cannot
access the saved station if your vehicle is
outside the station’s reception area.
HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential reception issues
Reception area
If you are listening to a multicast station and
you are on the fringe of the reception area, the
station may mute due to weak signal strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system
switches back to the analog broadcast until the
digital broadcast is available again. However, if
you are listening to any of the possible HD2
through HD7 multicast channels, the station
mutes and stays muted unless it is able to
connect to the digital signal again.
