(25—30 miles)FM Station
FM Characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually
about 40—50 km (25—30 miles) from
the source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels,
stereo FM has even less range than
monaural (nonstereo) FM.
FM

J18Y4138 AD
Ionosphere AM wave
Signals from an FM transmitter are
similar to beams of light because they
do not bend around corners, but they
do reflect. Unlike AM signals, FM
signals cannot travel beyond the
horizon. Therefore, FM stations cannot
be received at the great distances
possible with AM reception.

Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will
cause poor reception. However, cloudy
days may provide better reception than
clear days.
Direct
J18Y4139 AD
Reflected
wave
Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive
both the direct signal and the reflected
signal at the same time. This causes a
slight delay in reception and may be
heard as a broken sound or a distortion. This condition may also be
encountered when in close proximity
to the transmitter.

•Only cassette tapes that play no
longer than 90 minutes should be
used. Cassette tape exceeding 90
minutes are thin and may easily
break.
• Do not leave a cassette tape in the
tape player slot when not in use.
Remove it completely to permit the
slot door to close and to protect the
mechanism from dust.
• Store cassette tape away from
extreme heat, magnetic fields, and
direct sunlight. Protect the exposed
cassette tape from dirt and damage.
Store cassette tapes in their original
cases or other protective cases. •
Insert only cassette tapes into the
slot. If objects other than cassette
tapes are inserted, they may damage
the player.

surface when handling the CDs.
Pick up a CD by grasping the outer
edge or the edge of the hole and the
outer edge. •
Do not stick paper or tape on the
CD. Avoid scratching the reverse
side (the side without a label).
• Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light
reflected from the signal surface,
thus affecting sound quality. If the
CD should become soiled, gently
wipe it with a soft cloth from the
center of the CD to the edge. •
Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray
cleaners. Volatile chemicals such as
benzine and thinner can also
damage the surface of the CD and
must not be used. Anything that
can damage, warp, or fog plastic
should never be used to clean CDs.
• CDs, like traditional audio records,
are made of plastic. To avoid
warping, keep the CDs in their
cases and do not store them where
they will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
