Take precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound level before your hearing adapts to it. Understanding Radio Reception FM Stereo FM stereo will give you the best sound. Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound to come and go. To help avoid hearing loss or damage: Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting. Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly. 3-21 ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~ ~~ -~ ~~ ~ 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 what you want.
