FORD 2014 Focus v.3 - Manual (Page 391)

When HD Radio broadcasts are active, you can access the following
functions:
• Scan allows you to hear a brief sampling of all available stations. This
feature still works when HD Radio reception is on, although it does not
scan for HD2-HD7 channels. You may see the HD logo appear if the
station has a digital broadcast.
• Memory presets allow 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 finished. 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.
• Note: As with any saved radio station, 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
Reception area 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.
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches
back to the analog broadcast until the digital
broadcast is available again. However, if you are
listening to any of the possible HD2 through HD7
multicast channels, the station mutes and stays
muted unless it is able to connect to the digital
signal again.
Station blending 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.
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 making sure all audio streams
and data fields are accurate.
