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 harmf~ll 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 interf‘ere
with the operation
of
sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So,
before adding sound equipment, check with
your retailer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
