Additional safety information
• Be careful when you use your radio with the USB
plug pulled out. The sharp USB connection plug
may cause injury.
• Observe local laws regarding using earphones
while driving a motor vehicle. Some locales allow
only one ear to be covered by an earphone. Using
the earphone while walking or jogging on a road or
on a crosswalk can lead to a serious accident.
• Do not leave your radio in temperatures above
104°F (40°C), such as in a sauna or a parked car.
• Using earphones or headphones for an extended
time may cause serious damage to your hearing. If
you are exposed to sound louder than 85dB for
extended time, you may adversely affect your
hearing. The louder the sound is, the more seriously
damaged your hearing may be (an ordinary
conversation is between 50dB to 60dB and road
noise is approximately 80dB )
• You are strongly advised to set the volume level to
medium (the medium level is usually less than 2/3
of the maximum).
• If you hear a ringing in your ear(s), lower the volume
or stop using the earphone or headphones.
• Do not place your radio near magnetic objects.

Understanding radio modes
Your radio has three radio modes: Analog (FM), HD, and
RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System).
Analog (FM) mode
The analog (FM) mode is the standard mode that has been in
use for many years. The FM radio signal is an analog signal.
When receiving an FM signal, the “FM” icon appears on the
display.
HD Radio mode
The HD Radio mode is the new digital mode for FM. Many
HD Radio stations have several sub-channels called
“multichannels.” When receiving an HD Radio signal, the
“HD” icon and the channel number appear on the display.

RBDS mode
RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) mode provides
additional functionality to FM radio reception by
transmitting encoded analog information with the FM radio
signal. This signal is decoded by an RBDS receiver and can
provide a range of informational features including the
station’s name. The RBDS text is usually centered. When the
text fills the display, it begins scrolling. When receiving an
RBDS signal, the “RBDS” icon appears on the display.
