adjusting thevolume control on your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts toit. Understanding Radio Reception FM Stereo To help avoid hearing loss or damage: 1. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting. 2. Increase the volume slowly until you can hear comfortably and clearly. FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles ( 16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go. AM The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can also pick up noise from things like stormsand power lines. To lower this noise, try reducing the treble level. I NOTICE: Before you add any sound equipment to your vehicle like a tape player, CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio be sure you can add whatyou want. If you can, it's very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the operation of your vehicle's engine, Delco@radio or other systems, andeven damage them. And, your vehicle's systems may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added improperly. Before adding sound equipment, check with your retailer and be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units. -- -- AM Stereo Your Delco@ system may be able to receive C-Quam@ stereo broadcasts.Many AM stations around the country use C-Quam@ to produce stereo, though some do not. C-Quam@ is a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc. If your Delco@system can get C-Quam@ signals, your stereo indicatorlight will come on when you are receiving it. 3-21
