Understanding Radio Reception
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.
FM
Stereo
FM
stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about
10
to
40
miles
(1
6
to 65
km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with
FM
signals.
causing the sound
to
come and go.
XMTM
Satellite
Radio
Service
XMTM Satellite Radio gives you digital radio reception
from coast
to
coast. Just as with FM,
tall
buildings
or hills can interfere with Satellite radio signals, causing
the sound to come and
go.
Your radio may display
NO SIGNAL
to
indicate interference.
DAB
Radio
DAB gives you digital radio reception. Just as with
FM,
tall buildings or hills can interfere with radio signals,
causing the sound
to
come and go. Your radio
may display
NO
SIGNAL
to
indicate interference.
Care
of
Your
Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and
extreme heat. If they aren’t, they may not operate
properly or may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50
hours of use. Your radio may display CLEAN
to
indicate that
you
have used your tape player for
50
hours without resetting the tape clean timer.
If
this
message appears on the display, your cassette
tape player needs to be cleaned.
It
will still play tapes,
but you should clean
it
as soon as possible
to
prevent damage to your tapes and player. If you notice
a reduction in sound quality, try a known
good
cassette
to
see
if
the tape or the tape player is at fault.
If
this other cassette has no improvement in sound
quality, clean the tape player.
For best results, use a scrubbing action, non-abrasive
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape
head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. The
recommended cleaning cassette is available through
your dealership.
