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
(16
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.
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.
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, as it might be by vandals, you should
replace it.
Check occasionally to be sure the mast is still tightened
to the fender. If tightening is required, tighten by
hand, then with a wrench one quarter turn.
