Radio
The radio, mounted in the fascia is located
centrally above the fresh air outlet. The
loudspeaker is mounted on the tunnel
to
the
rear
of
the handbrake lever.
Radio
controls
The L.H. control knob switches the radio on and
off
as
well
as
governing the volume. The R.H.
knob is used
to
tune
to
the station required.
The receiver has
two
push buttons controlling
the waveband selection. The L.H. button
selects the Long wave band and the R.H.
button
selects the
Medium
wave band.
For
optimum
results from the receiver
it
is
advisable
to
ensure
that
the aerial mast is kept
clean and that the sliding sections are
occasionally lubricated
with
a light oil.
Should
the overall quality and sensitivity
of
the
receiver
show
a noticeable deterioration, or
should interference become excessive,
do
not
immediately suspect the receiver. The fault is
more often
with
the installation and all leads
and suppressors should
be
checked, especially
the aerial cable extension connection, located in
front
of
the L.H. rear wheel arch. This connection
should
be
securely taped
to
ensure
it
is
fully
waterproof. The suppression equipment
fitted
is
vigorously tested and
will
withstand extremes
of
temperature and vibration.
An
engine in a
poor state
of
tune can produce vibratory
conditions sufficient
to
damage the suppressors.
This
will
cause an increase in interference and
should
be
remedied immediately.
