Automatic Antenna
The antenna switch can be actu
ated with the radio switched on
and the key in steering lock posi
tions " 1" or " 2" .
•
If the antenna switch is in
center position, the antenna ex
tends automatically to a speci
fic height,
•
if the antenna switch is
engaged in the " max" position,
the antenna extends fully,
•
if the antenna switch is
engaged in the " off" position,
the antenna will not extend or
will retract completely.
The height of the antenna can
furtherm ore be adjusted contin
uously by actuating the antenna
switch:
•
If the antenna switch is in
center position, the antenna will
extend to the specific height.
The antenna can be further ex
tended or retracted to any
height by rocking the switch
(not engaging it).
•
If the antenna is to be re
tracted, e.g. for playing cas
settes, engage switch in " off"
position.
When the key is turned to steering
lock position " 0" or the radio is
turned off, the antenna will retract
completely.
FM Reception
FM signals travel in a " line-of-
sight" . Reflections or "dead spots"
may cause cancellations or loss of
the signal as well as strong signal
overloading or capture.
Lowering the antenna height in
strong signal areas may eliminate
many of the resulting problems and
restore good tone quality. How
ever, fringe area reception requires
the full antenna length to capture
weak incoming signals. The an
tenna can be operated by depress
ing the respective side of the
rocker switch.
FM Stereo Reception
When tuned to a FM stereo station,
the red Stereo Indicator Lamp will
light up. Because more information is
carried in the FM stereo signal than
in FM monoraul broadcasts, flutter,
cancellation and capture effects
may be even more noticeable. The
noisefree broadcast range, there
fore, is somewhat less and
accurate tuning to the strongest
available stereo stations is required,
especially for fringe area reception.
