FM broadcasts are transmitted at high f requen-
cy and do not bend to follow the earth's surface.
Because of this, FM broadcasts generally begin
to fade at short distances from the station. Also,
FM signals are easily affected by buildings,
mountains, or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions which might
lead you to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble:
FEATURES OF YOUR HYUNDAI
Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and
your radio can disturb the signal causing
static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this effect until
the disturbance clears.
Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-
ens, another more powerful signal near the
same frequency may begin to play. This is
because your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals be-
ing received from several directions can
cause distortion or fluttering. This can be
caused by a direct and a reflected signal
from the same station, or by signals from
two stations with close frequencies. If this
occurs, select another station until the con-
dition has passed.
