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:
0
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
to
check
Federal
rules
covering mobile radio
and
telephone
units.
