FM broadcasts are transm itted at
high frequencies and do not bend to
follow the earth's surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally
begin to fade w ithin short distances
from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, m oun-
tains, and obstructions. This can lead
to undesirable or unpleasant listen-
ing conditions w hich m ight lead you
to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The follow ing conditions are
norm al and do not indicate radio
trouble:
• Fading - As your vehicle m oves
aw ay from the radio station, the
signal will w eaken and sound w ill
begin to fade. W hen this occurs,
we suggest that you select another
stronger station.
•Flutter/Static - W eak FM signals or
large obstru c tions betw een the
transm itter and your radio can dis-
turb the signal causing static or
fluttering noises to occur. R educing
the treble level may lessen this
effect until the disturbance clears.
•Station S w apping - As an FM signal
w eakens, another more pow erful
signal near the sam e frequency
m ay begin to play. This is because
your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs,
select another station w ith a
stronger signal.
•Multi-Path C ancellation - R adio sig-
nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
sam e station, or by signals from two
stations w ith close frequencies. If
this occurs, select another station
until the condition has passed.
