Understanding
Radio
Reception
FMSterw
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
volumk slowly until you hear comfortably
an’d 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 sys$ems 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.
