RADIO RECEPTION INFORMATION
AM Reception
AM radio signals usually travel longer distances than FM
signals, especially at night. These longer distance AM
signals can cause AM stations to interfere with one
another. Noise from storms and power lines can also
interfere with AM reception. Reducing the treble can
reduce some of the noise.
FM Reception
FM Stereo signals produce better sound quality than AM
signals. However, FM signals will only travel approxi-
mately 10 to 40 miles (16 to 64 km). Tall structures or hills
can cause interference with FM signals causing the sound
to cut out.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout shows the frequency and/or
time in hours and minutes (depending on your radio
model) whenever the ignition switch is in the ªONº or
ªACCº position.
When the ignition switch is in the ªOFFº position, or
when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keep-
ing is accurately maintained.
On the RAQ radio the time button alternates the location
of the time and frequency on the display. On the REF only
one of the two, time or frequency is displayed at a time.
