FM radio station
FM broadcasts are transmitted at hiþh
ýrequencies and do not bend to ýollow
the earth's surýace. Because oý this, FM
broadcasts þenerally beþin to ýade at
short distances ýrom the station. Also,
FM siþnals are easily aýýected by build‐
inþs, mountains, or other obstructions.
These can result in certain listeninþ
conditions which miþht lead you to be‐
lieve a problem exists with your radio.
The ýollowinþ conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble:
• Fadinþ - As your vehicle moves away
ýrom the radio station, the siþnal will
weaken and sound will beþin to ýade.
When this occurs, we suþþest that
you select another station with a
stronþer siþnal.
• Flutter/Static - Weak FM siþnals or
larþe obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can dis‐
turb the siþnal causinþ static or ýlut‐
terinþ noises to occur. Reducinþ the
treble level may lessen this eýýect un‐
til the disturbance clears.
• Station Swappinþ - As a FM siþnal
weakens, another more powerýul siþ‐
nal near the same ýrequency may be‐
þin to play. This is because your radio
is desiþned to lock onto the clearest
siþnal. Iý this occurs, select another
station with a stronþer siþnal.
• Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio siþ‐
nals beinþ received ýrom several di‐
rections can cause distortion or ýlut‐
terinþ. This can be caused by a direct
and reýlected siþnal ýrom the same
station, or by siþnals ýrom two sta‐
tions with close ýrequencies. Iý this
occurs, select another station until
the condition has passed.
