Page 29 HD Jump radio to power the unit on while it is in the car cradle. ANALOG RADIO MODE Although your HD Jump radio is designed as a high-definition digital radio, it also operates as a standard analog AM/FM radio.
Page 30 Using the HD Jump™ Radio Analog radio is automatically used by the HD Jump radio when no HD Radio digital signal is available or is too weak to receive. RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) text information is still available in analog radio mode, provided the broadcast station transmits this information.
Page 31 Using the HD Jump™ Radio HD Radio Multicast (FM Only) Besides offering static free and clear radio signals, HD Radio technology also allows radio stations to multicast. This allows radio stations to offer more than one programing channel or station (multicast) at a time using their existing frequency on the radio dial.
Page 32 For more information on display modes, see “Display Mode” in this chapter. Unavailable Digital Signal/Loss of Digital Signal If the HD Jump radio incurs a loss of digital HD Radio signal, the radio mode will automatically change to analog radio mode.
Page 33 Using the HD Jump™ Radio Note: If a multicast station saved to a preset is chosen when the multicast station is not available or looses signal, the HD Jump radio will switch to the radio station’s main broadcast station. HD Radio Delay To overcome the delay that digital systems inherently produce, HD Radio technology first uses a station’s analog signal to quickly tune to an AM or FM station.
