RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can effect radio
reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an
FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker
the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power
lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker
one and play while the weak station frequency is
displayed.
CD PLAYER CARE
All audios are CD changer compatible. See your
dealer for further details.
Do:
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the
playing surface.
•Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an
approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center
out.
Don’t:
•Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for
extended periods of time.
•Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD
changer magazine.
