DAB Announcements
Besides their music programmes,
numerous DAB stations broadcast
various announcement categories.

announcements are pending.
To select several announcement
categories at the same time:
1. Select DAB Announcements.
2. Activate the desired
announcement categories.
Radio reception
Frequency interference and static can
occur during normal radio reception if
items such as mobile phone
chargers, vehicle convenience
accessories and external electronic
devices are plugged into the
accessory power outlet. If there is
interference or static, unplug the item
from the accessory power outlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 10 to
40 miles. Although the radio has a
built-in electronic circuit that
automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in and
out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
Mobile phone usage
Mobile phone usage can cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
Multi-band antenna
The multi-band antenna is located on
the roof of the vehicle. The antenna is
used for the AM/FM radio and GPS
(Global Positioning System); if the
vehicle has these features. Keep the
antenna clear of obstructions for clear
reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof
and it is open, the performance of the
AM/FM radio and GPS can be
affected.
