GENERAL AUDIO INFORMATIONRadio frequencies
AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal
CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and
TelecommunicationsCommission (CRTC). Those frequencies are:
AM - 530, 540–1700, 1710 kHz
FM- 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz
Radio reception factors
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
• Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station,
theweaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
2007 F-250/350/450/550 (f23)Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)USA

Entertainment Systems
32
-
• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines,
electric fences,traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with
your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger
signalmay overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station
frequencyis displayed.
CD/CD player care
Do:
• Handle discs by their edges only.Never touch the playing
surface.
• Inspect discs before playing.Clean only with an approved
CDcleaner and wipe from the centerout.
• Wipe discs from the center out.
Don’t:
• Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periodsof time.
• Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer
magazine.• Clean using a circular motion.CD units are designed to
only play commercially manufactured,round (4.75 in / 12 cm) audio
compact discs. Due to technicalincompatibility, certain homemade
compact discs may notfunction correctly when used in Ford CD
players.
Do not use any irregular shapedCDs or discs with a
scratchprotection film attached.

Satellite radio information (if equipped)Satellite radio
channels: Satellite radio frequencies are established bythe Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). SIRIUS Satellite Radiobroadcasts
within a frequency range of 2320.0 MHz-2332.5 MHz. Thisfrequency
range is sub-divided into over 120 channels of music, news,sports,
weather and traffic programming. For a complete set of
SIRIUSSatellite Radio channels, visit www.sirius.com or call SIRIUS
at1–888–539–7474. For a quick reference of the SIRIUS Satellite
Radiochannel guide, refer to the Sirius Welcome Kit.Satellite radio
reception factors: To receive the satellite signal, yourvehicle has
been equipped with a satellite radio antenna located on theroof of
your vehicle. The vehicle roof provides the best location for
anunobstructed, open view of the sky, a requirement of a satellite
radiosystem. Like AM/FM, there are several factors that can affect
satelliteradio reception performance:• Antenna Obstructions: For
optimal reception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice build-up and keep luggage and
othermaterial as far away from the antenna as possible.
• Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels,
freewayoverpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms caninterfere with your reception.
• Station overload: When you pass a ground based broadcast
repeatingtower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
result in anaudio mute.
Unlike AM/FM audible static, you will hear an audio mute when
there isa satellite radio signal interference. Your radio display
may display NOSIGNAL to indicate the interference.

AIMING THE HEADLAMPS
Your vehicle may be equipped with a sealed beam or
aerodynamicheadlamp system. Sealed beam headlamps may be aimed in
the vertical(up/down) and the horizontal (left/right) directions
using the proceduresfollowing. The aerodynamic headlamps can only
be aimed in the verticaldirection (up/down) using the following
procedures. The headlamps onyour vehicle are properly aimed at the
assembly plant and should notnormally need adjusting.
Vertical and horizontal aim adjustment (sealed beam
headlamps)
The headlamps on your vehicle are intended to be aimed
usingmechanical aimers. If mechanical aimers are used and the
cross-car sightline is in any way blocked, set the legs of the
universal adaptor all to thesame setting, such that the cross-car
sight line is no longer blocked, perthe instructions for the brand
of mechanical aimer used. You can alsoaim the headlamps visually
using the procedure below.
To adjust the headlamps:
1. Park your vehicle on a levelsurface about 25 feet (7.6
meters)away from a vertical plain surface(3). Check your headlamp
alignmentat night or in a dark area so thatyou can see the headlamp
beampattern.
• (1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)• (2) Center height of lamp to
ground
• (3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)• (4) Horizontal reference line• (5)
Center of headlamps• (6) Center line of the vehicle2. The center of
the headlamp is marked either on the lens (a circle orcross marker)
or on the bulb shield, internal to the lamp (mark orfeature).
Measure the height from the center of your headlamp to theground
(2) and mark an 8 foot (2.4 meter) long horizontal line on thewall
or screen (1) at this height (masking tape works well).

require horizontal aim adjustments.To adjust the headlamps:1. Park
the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level
surface,approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.• (1) 8 feet (2.4
meters)• (2) Center height of lamp to ground• (3) 25 feet (7.6
meters)• (4) Horizontal reference line2. Measure the height from
thecenter of your headlamp (indicatedby a 3.0 mm circle on the
lens) tothe ground and mark an 8 foot(2.4 meter) horizontal
reference lineon the vertical wall or screen at thisheight (a piece
of masking tapeworks well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlampsto illuminate the wall or
screen and open the hood. Cover one of theheadlamps so no light
hits the wall.
4. On the wall or screen you willobserve a light pattern with
adistinct horizontal edge towards theright. If this edge is not at
thehorizontal reference line, the beam will need to be adjusted so
the edgeis at the same height as the horizontal reference line.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster oneach headlamp, then use a E5
Torxsocket to turn the adjuster eithercounterclockwise (to adjust
down)or clockwise (to adjust up) aligningthe upper edge of the
light patternup to the horizontal line.
6. Repeat Steps 3–5 for the otherheadlamp.
