A-2Noise appears at certain places when traveling (FM).Do the following measures eliminate the noise?
YeslChange to a different station with a strong signal to boost resistance to interference.l Suppress high tones to reduce noise.+3cll Extend antenna completely. (Whip antenna)
No
tIf there is more noise than other radios, find out the noise conditions and the name and frequency
of the receiving stations from the user, and consult with the service center.
NOTE
About FM waves:
FM waves have the same properties as light, and
can be deflected and blocked. Wave reception isnot possible in the shadow of obstructions such
as buildings or mountains.
1.The signal becomes weak as the distance from
the station’s transmission antenna increases.
Although this may vary according to the signal
strength of the transmitting station and interven-ing geographical formations or buildings, the
area of good reception is approx.
20-25 km
(12-l 6 miles) for stereo reception, and 30-40km (19-25 miles) for monaural reception.
2. The signal becomes weak. when an area of
shadow from the transmitting antenna (places
where there are obstructions such as mountains

or buildings between the antenna and.the car),
and noise will appear. and gives a steady buzzing noise.>
If a direct signal hits the antenna at the same
time as a signal reflected by obstructions such
as mountains or buildings, interference of the
two signals will generate noise. During traveling,
noise will appear each time the vehicle’s anten-
na passes through this kind of obstructed area.The strength and interval of the noise varies
according to the signal strength and the condi-tions of deflection.
noise, and is a repetitious buzzing.>Since FM stereo transmission and reception
has a weaker field than monaural, it is often
accompanied by a hissing noise.FM Broadcast Good Reception Areas

THE PRINTED-HEATER LINES CHECK
(1) Run engine at 2,000 rpm. Check heater element with bat-tery at full.
(2) Turn ON rear window defogger switch. Measure heater
element voltage with circuit tester at rear window glass
center A.
Condition good if indicating about 6 V.
(3) If 12 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the negative
terminals from A.
Move test bar slowly to negative terminal to detect where
voltage changes suddenly (0 V).(4) If 0 V is indicated at A, there is a break in the positive
terminals from A. Detect where the voltage changes sud-
denly (12 V) with the same method described.
THE PRINTED-HEATER LINES REPAIR
REQUIRED MATERIALSl Thinner
l Tapel Lead-free gasoline
l Fine brush
l Conductive paint
(1) Clean disconnected area with lead-free gasoline. Tape
along both sides of heater element.
(2) Mix conductive paint thoroughly. Thin the required amount
of paint in a separate container with a small amount of
thinner and paint break three times at 15 minute intervals.(3) Remove tape and leave for a while before use (circuit
complete).
(4) When completely dry (after 24 hours) finish exterior with
a knife.
Caution
Clean glass with a soft cloth (dry or damp) along defog-
ger heater element.REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
(1)Remove rear window defogger switch from the meter bezel.(Refer to
P.54-109.)
(2) Operate the switch and check the continuity between the
terminals.
