 MSN ® Direct Receiver Instructions
Receiving Content
NOTE: Heated (metalized) windshields could degrade
the performance of the MSN ® Direct receiver.
It can take several hours to receive all the content the first
time you use the MSN Direct receiver, after you have
traveled long distances, or after you have not used your
MSN Direct Receiver for several days.
There is a (non-user replaceable) rechargeable battery
in the MSN Direct receiver that allows it to receive and
store updates for several days, even when not connected
to external power.
