Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most
AM
stations
is
greater
than
for
F M ,
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 (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.
0
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
