Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur duringnormal radio reception if items such as cell phonechargers, vehicle convenience accessories, andexternal electronic devices are plugged into theaccessory power outlet. If there is interference or static,unplug the item from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,especially at night. The longer range can cause stationfrequencies to interfere with each other. For better radioreception, most AM radio stations boost the powerlevels during the day, and then reduce these levelsduring the night. Static can also occur when things likestorms and power lines interfere with radio reception.When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
FM Stereo
FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit thatautomatically works to reduce interference, some staticcan occur, especially around tall buildings or hills,causing the sound to fade in and out.
XM™Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives digital radio receptionfrom coast-to-coast in the 48 contiguous United States,and in Canada. Just as with FM, tall buildings or hillscan interfere with satellite radio signals, causing thesound to fade in and out. In addition, traveling orstanding under heavy foliage, bridges, garages,or tunnels may cause loss of the XM signal for a periodof time.
