Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player and
Tapes
In order to keep your cassette tape player
performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
❑
Using a Ford or equivalent cassette cleaning
cartridge to clean the tape player head after
10-12 hours of play will help maintain the
best playback sound and proper tape
operation.
❑
Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less should be used. Tapes longer than 90
minutes are thinner and subject to breakage
or may jam the tape player mechanism.
❑
Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme
conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.
❑
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a
pencil into one of the holes and turning the
hub until the tape is tight.
❑
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.
❑
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape
player when not in use. High heat in the
vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.

Clock Operation
How to view the clock mode
Press the “CLOCK” button to alternate the
frequency and time in the display. In the clock
mode, pressing any radio function will
automatically display the radio frequency for
approximately ten seconds before changing back
to the clock mode.
How to set the clock
1.
Turn the radio on.
2.
Press and hold in the “CLOCK” button.
Press the “SEEK” button left (
b
) to advance
the hours and right (
a
) to advance the
minutes.
NOTE:
The clock displays 12-hour time with
no AM/PM indications.
Radio Antenna
The radio antenna is mounted on the rear
passenger side quarter panel of the vehicle. It is
a fixed mast antenna and cannot be retracted.
Common Radio Reception Conditions
Several conditions prevent FM reception from
being completely clear and noise-free, such as
the following:
1.
Distance/Strength
The strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance the signal must travel. The
listenable range of an average FM signal is
approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond
this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe
area and the signal becomes weaker.

2.
Terrain
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of
the area over which the signal travels may
prevent the FM signal from being noise-free.
Repeated pops and hisses which are heard
during an otherwise clear broadcast can occur
near the station because of the “line of sight”
characteristic of FM radio waves.
If there is a building or large structure between
the antenna and station, some of the signal
“bends” around the building, but certain spots
receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
“shadow” of the structure will allow the station
to return to normal.
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or
structures, the reflected signal cancels the normal
signal, causing the antenna to pick up noise and
distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can
become quite severe in hilly terrain and
depressed roadways.
To minimize these conditions, a stereo/mono
blend circuit has been incorporated into this
system. This feature automatically switches a
weak stereo signal to a clearer monaural signal,
which improves the quality of reception.
Several sources of static are normal conditions
on AM frequencies. These can be caused by
power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms.
Another reception phenomenon is
Strong Signal
Capture and Overload
. This can occur when
listening to a weak station and when passing
another broadcast tower. The close station may
capture the more distant station, although the
