Receiving Content

 

NOTE: 

Heated (metalized) windshields could degrade 

the performance of the MSN

®

 Direct receiver.

It can take several hours to receive all the content the first 

time you use the MSN Direct receiver, after you have 

traveled long distances, or after you have not used your 

MSN Direct Receiver for several days.
There is a (non-user replaceable) rechargeable battery 

in the MSN Direct receiver that allows it to receive and 

store updates for several days, even when not connected 

to external power.
