What is HD Radio™
Technology?
HD Radio Broadcasting was approved by the Federal
Communications Commission in October 2002 as the
system for digital AM and FM broadcasting in the U.S.
HD Radio technology features include:
– Static-free, clear radio reception.
– FM Multicasting – the ability to broadcast multiple
program streams over a single FM frequency.
– A variety of “data services,” including text-based
information – artist name, song title, etc. scrolled
across your receiver display.
– Digital broadcasts in the same frequencies as analog
broadcasts; listeners do not need to learn a new station
number and today’s stations remain at their current
place on the dial.
HD Radio technology is developed and licensed by
iBiquity Digital Corporation and supported by the
leaders of the broadcasting, consumer electronics and
automotive industries.
Features
• Compact size HD Radio™ tuner unit.

code are located on the bottom exterior.
• Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source
such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or
shock.
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (a rug, a
blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain) which might
block the ventilation holes.
