Get Audio System Guide for Ford Focus 4 Door Third generation(2010-2017)

Audio System

AM and FM frequencies are established by

GENERAL INFORMATION

the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) and the Canadian Radio and

Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

Those frequencies are:

Radio Frequencies and Reception

Factors

•

AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz

FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio Reception Factors

Distance and strength

Terrain

The further you travel from an AM or FM station, the

weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway

overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and

thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.

Station overload

When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating

tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and

result in the audio system muting.

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or

CD and CD Player Information

heat sources for extended periods.

Note: CD units play commercially pressed

4.7 in (12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due

to technical incompatibility, certain

recordable and re-recordable compact discs

may not function correctly when used in

Ford CD players.

MP3 and WMA Track and Folder

Structure

Audio systems capable of recognizing and

playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks

and folder structures work as follows:

•

There are two different modes for MP3

and WMA disc playback: MP3 and

WMA track mode (system default) and

MP3 and WMA folder mode.

MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any

folder structure on the MP3 and WMA

disc. The player numbers each MP3

and WMA track on the disc (noted by

the MP3 or WMA file extension) from

T001 to a maximum of T255. The

maximum number of playable MP3 and

WMA files may be less depending on

the structure of the CD and exact

model of radio present.

Note: Do not insert CDs with homemade

paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player

as the label may peel and cause the CD to

become jammed. You should use a

permanent felt tip marker rather than

adhesive labels on your homemade CDs.

Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please

contact an authorized dealer for further

information.

Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped

discs or discs with a scratch protection film

attached.

Always handle discs by their edges only.

Clean the disc with an approved CD

cleaner only. Wipe it from the center of the

disc toward the edge. Do not clean in a

circular motion.

MP3 and WMA folder mode represents

a folder structure consisting of one

level of folders. The CD player numbers

(noted by the MP3 or WMA file

WARNING

extension) and all folders containing

MP3 and WMA files, from F001 (folder)

T001 (track) to F253 T255.

Creating discs with only one level of

folders helps with navigation through

the disc files.

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable

local laws that may affect the use of

electronic devices while driving.

If you are burning your own MP3 and WMA

discs, it is important to understand how

the system reads the structures you create.

While various files may be present (files

with extensions other than MP3 and

WMA), only files with the MP3 and WMA

extension are played; other files are

ignored by the system. This enables you to

use the same MP3 and WMA disc for a

variety of tasks on your work computer,

home computer and your in-vehicle

system.

Note: Depending on your vehicle option

package, your system may look different

from what you see here.

In track mode, the system displays and

plays the structure as if it were only one

level deep (all MP3 and WMA files play,

regardless of being in a specific folder). In

folder mode, the system only plays the

MP3 and WMA files in the current folder.

Sound returns when finished. When

switching to an HD2 or HD3 memory

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-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.
