Radio Reception

You may experience frequency interference and
static during normal radio reception if items such as
cellphone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories,
and external electronic devices are plugged into
the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or
static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet.

AM

The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with each other.
For better radio reception, most AM radio stations will
boost the power levels during the day, and then reduce
these levels during the night. Static can also occur
when things like storms and power lines interfere with
radio reception. When this happens, try reducing
the treble on your radio.

FM Stereo

FM stereo will give the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km).
Tall buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals,
causing the sound to fade in and out.
