panel, press and hold the button until the setting is
correct. The clock will adjust slowly at first and then
quicker the longer the button is held.

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION

Radio Broadcast Signals

The radio will provide excellent reception under most
operating conditions. Like any system, however, automo-
tive radios have performance limitations, due to mobile
operation and natural phenomena, which might lead you
to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help
you understand and save you concern about these “ap-
parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or
two about the transmission and reception of radio sig-
nals.

Two Types of Signals

There are two basic types of radio signals: AM or
Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound
causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to
vary; and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the
frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound.
