Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater
than
for
F",
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.
T r y
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM
stereo will give you the best sound, but
EM
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.
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.
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 Electronics
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.
