Understanding Radio Reception
FM
Stereo
FM
stereo will give you the best sound. But
FM
signals
will reach only about
10
to
40
miles (16 to
65
km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
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.
Tips
About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control
on
your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To
help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control
to
the lowest setting.
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle
--
like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
--
be sure you can add
what you want.
If
you can, it’s very important to
do it properly. Added sound equipment may
interfere with the operation of your vehicle’s
engine, Delco radio or other systems, and even
damage them. Your vehicle’s systems may
interfere with the operation of sound equipment
that has been added improperly.
So,
before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
