WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing the JENSEN JiMS-525i HD RadioTM System.
Before operating the unit, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for future reference.
PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you
operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated
to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture
polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks
or a rubber residue on the furniture.
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive
felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these
pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

2. Press the FUNCTION Button to operate the unit in the radio mode.
3. Press the BAND Button to select the AM or FM band as desired.
4. Press the 5 or 6 Buttons or key in the preset channels using the NUMERIC Buttons to select the
preset channels.
Note: HD RadioTM Multicast Channels (HD2, HD3, etc) can be added to the preset memory locations
for easy access, but there may be a delay before sound is heard when accessing the channels
from memory. See the section below "Special Information about Delay in the HD RadioTM System"
for more information on why this delay occurs.
HD RadioTM Multicast Channels (FM Only)
Together with digital sound quality, HD RadioTM technology gives broadcasters the opportunity to offer
more than one programming channel simultaneously using their existing frequency on the radio tuning
buttons.
If the HD RadioTM Receiver recognizes an HD Radio channel, the HD logo starts blinking until the signal
is tuned in. After the HD RadioTM Receiver is tuned to an HD channel, CH1 will indicate the existence of
multicast services. Use the 5 or 6 Buttons to select the multicast channels (i.e. CH2).
If you are listening to an HD RadioTM Multicast Channel (HD2, HD3, etc) and turn the radio power off or
switch to either iPod or Aux modes, the radio will default back to the main non-HD radio station when
the power is turned on again or if you switch back to the radio function. Example: You are listening to
"97.9FM HD2" and turn the power off or change to iPod or Aux mode. When you turn the power back on
or switch back to the radio mode, the station will be the 97.9FM and not the HD2 multicast channel. If
an HD signal is detected the station will automatically switch to 97.9FM HD1, but you will manually need
to change to 97.9FM HD2 if this is the channel you want to listen to again.

RADIO OPERATION (Continued)
Special Information about Delay in the HD RadioTM System
Digital systems inherently produce a delay in audio. To overcome such delay, HD RadioTM broadcasting
uses a station's current analog signal to ensure fast tuning of an AM or FM station. After an estimated
5 seconds, the audio will change from analog to digital HD RadioTM broadcasting.
If the change is smooth, the radio station will implement the HD RadioTM broadcast correctly. But if the
station has no smooth change, you will experience a jump in content of an estimated 5 seconds. The
HD RadioTM Receiver is not a problem. It is an HD RadioTM broadcaster's implementation problem
which could be corrected by the station through time.
Today's analog is only present on the main channel. If you tune directly to a station's multicast channel
(CH2), there will have a delay of about 5 seconds before audio or content is heard. This operation is
normal.
RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System)
This Radio supports RBDS, Program Identification and Radio Text. This function allows a radio station
to transmit free-form, static textual information. For example, station slogans are synchronized with the
programming and the title and artist of currently–playing songs are displayed along with the radio
program.
