Understanding Radio Reception F M Stereo 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: 0 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. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting. Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly. AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for Fpv3[, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can also pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. To lower this noise, try reducing the treble level. 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. I you can, it's very f important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operationof your vehicle's engine, Delco radio or other systems, and even damage them. And,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 to checkFederal rules covering mobileradio and telephone units. AM Stereo Your Delco@system may be ableto receive C-Qum@ stereo broadcasts. Many AM stations around the country use C-Quam to produce stereo, though some do not. C-Quam@is a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc. If your Delco system can get C-Quam signals, your stereo indicator light will come on when you are receiving it. Be aware that 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 3-18
