GENERAL INFORMATION
Radio Frequencies and
Reception Factors
AM and FM frequencies are
established by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio and
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC). Those frequencies are:
•
AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz
• FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz Radio Reception Factors
The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
Distance and strength
Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels,
freeway overpasses, parking garages, dense tree
foliage and thunderstorms can interfere with the
reception.
Terrain
When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one
and result in the audio system muting.
Station overload
CD and CD Player Information
Note: CD units play commercially
pressed 4.75-inch (12 centimeter)
audio compact discs only. Due to
technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact
discs may not function correctly when
used in Ford CD players. Note:
Do not insert CDs with
homemade paper (adhesive) labels
into the CD player as the label may
peel and cause the CD to become
jammed. You should use a permanent
felt tip marker rather than adhesive
labels on your homemade CDs.
Ballpoint pens may damage CDs.
Please contact an authorized dealer
for further information.
Note: Do not use any irregularly
shaped discs or discs with a scratch
protection film attached.
Always handle discs by their edges
only. Clean the disc with an approved
CD cleaner only. Wipe it from the
center of the disc toward the edge. Do
not clean in a circular motion.
