RADIO FREQUENCIES

AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:

AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz

FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz

RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS

There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the

weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,

traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal

may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.

CASSETTE/PLAYER CARE

Do:
• Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
• Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole

and turning the hub.

• Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
