All About Radio Frequencies
*
[AS62500( ALL)08/95]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) establish 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.
*
[AS62600( ALL)08/95]
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given
area. 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.
*
[AS62700( ALL)08/95]
Some FM radio stations advertise a
ªrounded-offº 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 ªRadio 99º
even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM
broadcast frequency.

When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will
turn off battery voltage to the interior lights
after 45 minutes.

This will prevent draining of the battery if those
lights have been left on inadvertently or if a
door is not completely closed. Battery voltage to
these lamps will be restored when the outside
front door handles are lifted, the Remote Entry
transmitter is used to unlock the doors, activate
the personal alarm or open the trunk, or the
ignition key is turned on again.

three-volt lithium 2016 batteries (included) that
should last for several years of normal use. If
you notice a significant decrease in operating
range, the batteries should be replaced.
Replacement batteries can be purchased at most
pharmacies, watch stores or at your Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
*
[CF68700( ALL)01/96]
NOTE: The operating range of the remote
entry system can also be affected by
weather conditions (such as very cold
temperatures) or structures around the
vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating
range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle.
