[. . . ] These can be caused by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. This can occur when listening to a weak station and when passing another broadcast tower. The close station may capture the more distant station, although the displayed frequency does not change. While passing the tower, the station may switch back and forth a few times before returning to the original station. When several broadcast towers are present (common in metropolitan areas) several stations may overload the receiver, resulting in considerable station changing, mixing and distortion. Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and FM bands has been incorporated into this system to reduce strong signal capture and overload. 170 All About Radio Frequencies The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) establishes the frequencies that AM and FM radio stations may use for their broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM: 530, 540. . . 1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87. 9, 88. 1. . . 107. 7, 107. 9 MHz in 0. 2 MHz steps. This radio will tune to each of these frequencies using MANUAL TUNE and no fine tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use other frequencies. Some FM radio stations advertise a "rounded-off" frequency which is not the frequency they actually broadcast on. For example, a radio station that is assigned a frequency of 98. 7 MHz may call itself "Radio 99" even though 99. 0 MHz is not an allowable FM broadcast frequency. 171 Important Warranty and Service Information u Warranty Your sound system is warranted for three years or 36, 000 miles (60, 000 kilometers), whichever comes first.

How to adjust the volume Turn the "VOL/PUSH ON" knob to the right to increase the volume and to the left to decrease the volume. NOTE: If the volume level is set above a certain listening level when the ignition switch is turned off, when the ignition switch is turned back on, the volume will come back to a "nominal" listening level. However, if the radio power is turned off (with the "VOL/PUSH ON" button), the volume will remain in the position it was set at when radio power is switched back on (digital systems only). Selecting the AM or FM frequency band Push the "AM/FM" button to select the desired frequency band. Pushing the "AM/FM" button causes the frequency band to switch from "AM" to "FM1" to "FM2" to "AM", changing one band to the next each time the button is pressed. These functions are used with the station memory buttons described under How to tune radio stations. How to tune radio stations There are four ways for you to tune in a particular station. You can use the "TUNE", "SEEK", "SCAN" or memory buttons. 151 u Using the "TUNE" function You can change the frequency up or down one increment at a time by pressing and releasing either the left b or right a side of the "TUNE" button. To change frequencies quickly, press and hold down either the right or left side of the "TUNE" button. [. . . ] This can damage rubber and other polymers in the fuel system and may also clog small orifices. Ford Gas Stabilizer should be added whenever actual or expected storage periods exceed 60 days. The vehicle should then be operated at idle speed to circulate the additive throughout the fuel system.
