Understanding Radio Reception
F"
Stereo
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.
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:
0
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
0
Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.
I
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 retailer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
