AM (MW, LW) reception

FM reception

OJF045309L

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 frequency radio waves can

follow the curvature of the earth rather

than travelling straight out into the

atmosphere. In addition, they curve

around obstructions so that they can

provide better signal coverage.

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast

from transmitter towers located around

your city. They are intercepted by the

radio antenna on your vehicle. This

signal is then received by the radio and

sent to your vehicle speakers.

When a strong radio signal has reached

your vehicle, the precise engineering

of your audio system ensures the best

possible 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 presence of buildings, bridges or

other large obstructions in the area.

FM radio station

śꢀ Fading - As your vehicle moves away

OJF045310L

from the radio station, the signal will

weaken and sound will begin to fade.

When this occurs, we suggest that you

select another stronger station.

śꢀ Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals

or large obstructions between the

transmitter and your radio can disturb

the signal causing static or fluttering

noises to occur. Reducing the treble

level may lessen this effect until the

disturbance clears.

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high

frequencies and do not bend to follow

the earth’s surface. Because of this,

FM broadcasts generally begin to fade

at short distances from the station.

Also, FM signals are easily affected

by buildings, mountains, 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

Using a mobile phone or a two-way

radio

When a mobile phone is used inside

the vehicle, noise may be produced

from the audio system. This does not

mean that something is wrong with the

audio equipment. In such a case, use

the mobile phone at a place as far as

possible from the audio equipment.

NOTICE

śꢀ Station Swapping - As a FM signal

weakens, another more powerful

signal near the same frequency may

begin to play. This is because your

radio is designed to lock onto the

clearest signal. If this occurs, select

another station with a stronger signal.

śꢀ Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals

being received from several directions

can cause distortion or fluttering.

This can be caused by a direct and

reflected signal from the same station,

or by signals from two stations with

close frequencies. If this occurs, select

another station until the condition has

passed.
