FM broadcasts are transmitted at high fre-
quencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's surface. Because of this, FM broad-
casts generally begin to fade at short dis-
tances from the station. Also, FM signals
are easily affected by buildings, moun-
tains, or other obstructions. These can
result in certain listening conditions which
might lead you to believe a problem exists
with your radio. The following conditions
are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
STEREO SOUND SYSTEMB750A02A-AATHow Car Audio WorksAM and FM radio signals are broadcast
from transmitter towers located around
your city. They are intercepted by the radio
antenna on your car. This signal is then
received by the radio and sent to your car
speakers.
When a strong radio signal has reached
your vehicle, the precise engineering of
your audio system ensures the best pos-
sible quality reproduction. However, in
some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle may not be strong and clear.
This can be due to factors such as the
distance from the radio station, closeness
of other strong radio stations or the pres-
ence of buildings, bridges or other large
obstructions in the area.AM broadcasts can be received at greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is
because AM radio waves are transmitted
at low frequencies. These long, low fre-
quency radio waves can follow the curva-
ture of the earth rather than travelling
straight out into the atmosphere. In addi-
tion, they curve around obstructions so
that they can provide better signal cover-

B880A01NF-AATSatellite Antenna (If Installed)The satellite antenna is installed on the
roof of your car to listen to a satellite radio
broadcast. This antenna is fixed by nut and
it can not be removed.NOTE:In the place like a tunnel where the sat-
ellite broadcast signal can not be
reached, the ability of broadcast signal
reception can be affected and downed.

CAUTION:
o Do not clean the inner side of the rear
window glass with an abrasive type of
glass cleaner or use a scraper to
remove foreign deposits from the in-
ner surface of the glass as this may
cause damage to the antenna ele-
ments.
o Avoid adding metallic coatings to the
rear window glass, such as Ni, Cd, etc.
These can disturb receiving AM and
FM broadcast signals.

while the ignition key is in either the "ON"
or "ACC" position, your car will receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals through
the antenna in the rear window glass.
