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
kmj.
Tall
buildings or
hills
can interfere
with
FM
signals, causing
the sound to come and
go.
AIM
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
also
pick
up
noise from things like storms and power lines.
Try reducing the treble
to
lower this noise.
Be aware that 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 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. And, 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 dealer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
