    SIRIUS Satellite Radio Reception Factors and Troubleshooting Potential reception issues
    For optimal reception performance, keep the antenna clear
    of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
    materials as far away from the antenna as possible.
    Antenna obstructions
    Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
    overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunder-
    storms can interfere with your reception.
    Terrain
    When you pass a ground-based broadcast-repeating tower,
    a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and the audio
    system may mute.
    Station overload
    Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the interfer-
    ence and the audio system may mute.

    HD Radio ™ Information (If
    Available)
    Note:  This feature may not be available in

    Settings in the Settings Chapter.  See
    Settings (page 509).
    Note: HD Radio broadcasts are not
    available in all markets.

    							HD Radio technology is the digital
    evolution of analog AM/FM radio. Your
    system has a special receiver that allows
    it to receive digital broadcasts (where
    available) in addition to the analog
    broadcasts, it already receives. Digital
    broadcasts provide a better sound quality
    than analog broadcasts with free,
    crystal-clear audio and no static or
    distortion. For more information, and a
    guide to available stations and
    programming, please visit:
    Website
    www.hdradio.com
    When HD Radio is on and you tune to a
    station broadcasting HD Radio technology,
    you may notice the following indicators on
    your screen: The HD logo is grey when acquiring a digital
    station, and then changes to orange when
    digital audio is playing. When this logo is
    available, you may also see Title and Artist
    fields on-screen.
    The multicast indicator appears in FM
    mode (only) if the current station is
    broadcasting multiple digital broadcasts.
    The highlighted numbers signify available
    digital channels where new or different
    content is available. HD1 signifies the main
    programming status and is available in
    analog and digital broadcasts. Other
    multicast stations (HD2 through HD7) are
    only available digitally.
    Note:
     There is also an additional feature
    for stations that have more than 1 HD
    multicast (For example, HD1 or HD2). The
    HD logo and Radio text appears as a button.
    Pressing this button allows you cycle
    through all of the HD stations on that
    specific frequency. For example, if you are
    on 101.1 and it has HD1, HD2, HD3, pressing
    the button repeatedly causes the radio to
    cycle through the HD stations in a cyclic
    increasing order.
    When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following functions: Action and description
    Message
    Allows you to save an active channel as a memory preset.
    Touch and hold a memory preset slot until the sound returns.
    There is a brief mute while the radio saves the station. Sound
    returns when the channel saves. When switching to an HD2
    or HD3 memory preset, the sound mutes before the digital
    audio plays, because the system has to reacquire the digital
    signal.
    Presets
    Note: As with any station you save, 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
    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.
    Reception area
    If you are listening to HD1, the system changes back to the
    analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again.
    However, if you are listening to any of the possible HD2-HD7
    multicast channels, the station mutes and stays muted unless
    it is able to connect to the digital signal again.
    When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-
    HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station in the analog
    version. Once the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio
    station, it shifts to the digital version. Depending on the station
    quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station
    changes from analog to digital. Blending is the shift from
    analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.
    Station blending
    In order to provide the best possible
    experience, use the contact form to report
    any station issues found while listening to
    a station broadcasting with HD Radio
    technology. Independent entities own and
    operate each station. These stations are
    responsible for ensuring all audio streams
    and data fields are accurate. Potential station issues
