General information about your radio

N00733900439

Your vehicle’s radio receives both AM and FM stations.

The quality of your reception is affected by distance, obstacles,

and signal interference.

This radio complies with Part 15 of Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) Rules (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.). Opera-

tion is subject to the following conditions:

● The device may not cause harmful interference.

● This device must accept any interference recieved, includ-

ing interference that may cause undesirable operation.

Signal transmission

FM signals do not follow the earth surface nor are they

reflected by the upper atmosphere. For this reason, FM broad-

casts cannot be received over long distances. AM signals fol-

low the earth’s surface and are reflected by the upper

atmosphere. For this reason, AM broadcasts can be received

over longer distances.

Weak reception (fading)

Because of the limited range of FM signals and the way FM

waves transmit, you may experience weak or fading FM recep-

tion. When the broadcast is blocked by mountains or similar

obstructions, reception can be disturbed.

CAUTION

● Changes or modifications not expressly approved by

the party meeting the above conditions could void

the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
