Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations
to
interfere with each other.
AM
can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble
to
reduce this noise
if
you ever get it.
FM
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about
10
to
40
miles
(1
6
to
65
km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound
to
come and go.
Care
of
Your
CDs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in their original cases
or other protective cases and away from direct sunlight
and dust. If the surface of a disc is soiled, dampen
a
clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution
and clean it, wiping from the center
to
the edge.
Care of Your CD Player
The use of
CD
lens cleaner discs is not advised, due
to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the
CD
optics
with lubricants internal
to
the
CD
mechanism.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged.
If
the mast should ever
become slightly bent, you can straighten it out by hand.
If
the mast is badly bent you should replace it.
If the mast becomes loose from the antenna base,
which is located on the fender, tighten by hand, then
with a wrench, one quarter turn.
Be sure never
to
touch the side without writing when
handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer
edges or the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
