RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. The farther you are from a
station, the weaker its signal will be. In
addition, reception conditions change
constantly as your vehicle moves.

player when you are not listening to
them. Store them in their plastic cases
away from moisture, heat, and direct
