GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION

Radio frequencies:

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM: 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio reception factors:

There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the

weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,

traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal

may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.

CD/CD player care

Do:
• Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
• Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner

and wipe from the center out.

2007 Montego (mgo)
Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)
USA (fus)

Entertainment Systems

Don’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods

of time.

• Clean using a circular motion.
CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 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. Irregular
shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached, and CDs
with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted
into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs be
identified with permanent felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels. Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please contact your
authorized dealer for further information.

Audio system warranty and service

Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If
service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.

Satellite radio information (if equipped)

Satellite radio channels: Satellite radio frequencies are established by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). SIRIUS Satellite Radio
broadcasts within a frequency range of 2320.0 MHz-2332.5 MHz. This
frequency range is sub-divided into over 120 channels of music, news,
sports, weather and traffic programming. For a complete set of SIRIUS
Satellite Radio channels, visit www.sirius.com or call SIRIUS at
1–888–539–7474. For a quick reference of the SIRIUS Satellite Radio
channel guide, refer to the Sirius Welcome Kit.

Satellite radio reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite radio
system. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect satellite
radio reception performance:
• Antenna Obstructions: For optimal reception performance, keep the

antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and other
material as far away from the antenna as possible.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway

overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.

2007 Montego (mgo)
Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)
USA (fus)

Entertainment Systems

• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast repeating

tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and result in an
audio mute.

Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when there is
a satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display may display NO
SIGNAL to indicate the interference.

SIRIUS satellite radio service: SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a continental
U.S. based satellite radio service that broadcasts over 120 channels of
music, sports, news and entertainment coast-to-coast. A service fee is
required in order to receive SIRIUS service. Vehicles that are equipped
with a factory installed SIRIUS Satellite Radio system include:
• Hardware and limited subscription term, which begins on the date of

sale or lease of the vehicle.

• SIRIUS online media player access: providing access to all 100%

commercial-free music channels over the internet. Call SIRIUS at
1–888–539–7474 to obtain login instructions and your password.

For information on extended subscription terms, contact SIRIUS at
1–888–539–7474.

Note: SIRIUS reserves the unrestricted right to change, rearrange, add
or delete programming including canceling, moving or adding particular
channels, and its prices, at any time, with or without notice to you. Ford
Motor Company shall not be responsible for any such programming
changes.

Satellite Radio Electronic Serial Number (ESN): This 12 digit
Satellite Serial Number is needed to activate, modify or track your
satellite radio account. You will need this number when communicating
with SIRIUS. While in Satellite Radio mode, you can view this number on
the radio display by pressing AUX and Preset 1 control simultaneously.
