Push the upper knob when playing a tape to switch from one side of the
tape to the other.
Search
When you’re playing a tape, Search lets you jump ahead quickly to the
start
of the next selection. It makes the tape stop when it gets to the next
place with
4 seconds or more of silence. To use Search:
Slide Search to the right, then
0 Push Fwd.
If you want to go back and hear a selection you’ve just heard, Search will
do that too. Just slide Search to the right and then push REV. The tape
will
go back to the last silent place and start again from there.
Choose the right bias (or “equalization ”) for your tape.
On your radio, you’ll find a CrOiM
button:
Now look at your tape, or
on its label or box. It should say whether its
bias (“equalization”) is
70 microseconds (70 u) or 120 microseconds (120
u). If it doesn’t say, chrome and metal tapes are 70 ,u sec and standard
iron tapes are 120
u sec.
For
70, push the Cr02 button in. For 120, it should be out.
If you don’t do this, the tape will still play, but the sound will not be as
good
as your system can provide.

Trying to start your Cadillac by pushing or pulling it won’t work, and it
could damage your vehicle.
TO JUMP STAlzT YOUR CADILLAC:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt battery with a negative
ground system.
2. Get the vehicles close enough
so the jumper cables can reach, but be
sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other. If they are, it could cause
a ground connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to start
your Cadillac, and the bad grounding could damage the electrical
systems.
A CAUTION:
You could be injured if the vehicles roll. Set the parking brake
firmly on each vehicle. Put an automatic transaxle in
“P”
(Park).
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all lights that aren’t
needed, and radios.
This will avoid sparks and help save both
batteries.
And it could save your radio!

they do, you could get a shock. The vehicles could be damaged, too.
Before you connect the cables, here are some basic things you should
know. Positive
(+ ) will go to positive (+) and negative (-) will go to
negative
(-) or a metal engine part. Don’t connect (+) to (-) or you’ll
get a short that would damage the battery and maybe other parts, too.
A CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you badly. Keep
your hands away from moving parts once the engines are
running.
