Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM
stereo will give you the best sound. But
F M
signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65
h ) .
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 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. I f 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 dealer and be sure to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
