TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the effective range of FM is about 25 miles( 40 km). Once outside this range, you may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, making it possible for 2 signals to reach the vehicle’ s antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when signals are blocked by buildings, trees or other large objects. Increasing the bass level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being listened to is interrupted or weakened, and there is another strong station nearby on the FM band, the radio may tune in the second station until the original signal can be picked up again.
