• Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals
or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can
disturb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. Reduc -
ing the treble level may lessen
this effect until the disturbance
clears.
• Station Swapping - As an FM sig -
nal weakens, another more pow -
erful signal near the same
frequency may begin to play. This
is because your radio is designed
to lock onto the clearest signal. If
this occurs, select another station
with a stronger signal.

• Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio
signals being received from sev -
eral directions can cause distor -
tion or fluttering. This can be
caused by a direct and reflected
signal from the same station, or
by signals from two stations with
close frequencies. If this occurs,
select another station until the
condition has passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-
way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside
the vehicle, noise may be produced
from the audio system. This does
not mean that something is wrong
with the audio equipment. In such a
case, try to operate mobile devices
as far from the audio equipment as
possible.
When using a communication sys -
tem such as a cellular phone or a
radio set inside the vehicle, a sepa -
rate external antenna must be fit -
ted. When a cellular phone or a radio
set is used with an internal antenna
alone, it may interfere with the
vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect safe operation of
the vehicle.
