FM Radio Station

FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequencies and do not follow the surface of the earth. Therefore, FM broadcasts usually begin to fade over short distances from the station. In addition, FM signals are easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstacles. They can cause certain listening conditions that may make you believe there is a problem with your radio. The following conditions are normal and do not indicate a radio malfunction:

• Fading - As your vehicle moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and the sound will begin to fade. When this happens, we suggest you select another, stronger station.
• Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large obstacles between the transmitter and your radio may interfere with the signal, causing static or fluttering sounds. Reducing the high frequency level may reduce this effect until the interference disappears.

• Station Switching - As the FM signal weakens, another, stronger signal on the same frequency may begin to play. This is because your radio is designed to capture the clearest signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger signal.
• Multipath Cancellation - Radio signals received from multiple directions may cause distortion or fluttering. This may 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 passes.
