GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATION  
Radio frequencies:  
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: 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz  
Radio reception factors:  
There are three factors that can affect 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/CD player care  
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.  
Clean using a circular motion.

CD units are designed to play commercially pressed 4.75 in  
(12 cm) 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.  
Dirty, warped or damaged CDs, irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a  
scratch protection film attached, and CDs with homemade paper  
(adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. The  
label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is  
recommended that homemade CDs be identified with permanent  
felt tip marker rather than adhesive labels. Ballpoint pens may  
damage CDs. Please contact your authorized dealer for further  
information.  
Audio system warranty and service  
Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If  
service is necessary, see your dealer or qualified technician.
