FM Stereo
FM Stereo will give you the best sound,
but
FM signals will reach only about 10
to
40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings
or hills can interfere with
FM signals,
causing the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at night.
The longer range, however, can cause
stations to interfere with each other.
AM can also pick up noise from things
like storms and power lines.
To lower
this noise, try reducing the treble level.
AM Stereo
Your Delco@ system may be able to
receive C-Quam@ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country
use C-Quam@ to produce stereo, though
some do not. C-Quam@
is a registered
trademark of Motorola, Inc. If your
Delco@ system can get C-Quam@ signals, your stereo indicator light
will
come on when you are receiving it.
Care of Your Cassette Tape
Player
A tape player that is not cleaned
regularly can cause reduced sound
quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be
stored in their cases away from
contaminants, direct sunlight, and
extreme heat. If they aren't, they may
not operate properly or cause failure of
the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned
regularly each month or after every
15
hours of use. If you notice a reduction
in sound quality,
try a known good
cassette to see if the tape or the tape
player is at fault. If this other cassette
has no improvement in sound quality,
clean the tape player.

Care of Your Cassette Tape
Player
(CONT.)
Clean your tape player with a wiping-
action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette,
and follow the directions provided with
it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape
is in good condition before you have
your tape player serviced.

Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in
their original cases or other protective
cases and away
from direct sunlight and
dust. If the surface
of a disc is soiled,
dampen a clean,
soft cloth in a mild,
neutral detergent solution and clean it,
wiping from the center to the edge.
Be sure never to touch the signal
surface when handling discs. Pick up
discs by grasping the outer edges or the
edge
of the hole and the outer edge.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand
most car washes without being damaged. If the mast should ever
become slightly bent, you can straighten it out
by hand. If the mast is badly bent,
as it might be by vandals, you should
replace it.
Check every once in a while to be sure
the mast is still tightened to the fender.

Road Signs
The road signs you see everywhere are coded by color, shape and symbols. It’s
a good idea to lmow these codes
so that
you can quickly grasp the basic meaning
or intent
of the sign even before you
have a chance to read it.
Color of Road Signs
Red means Stop. It may also indicate
that some movement is not allowed.
Examples are
Do Not Enter, Wrong
Way,
or No Parking.
Green
is used to guide the driver.
Green signs may indicate upcoming
freeway exits or show the direction you
should turn to reach a particular place.
RR ADVANCE NARROW NO PASSING
CROSSING BRIDGE ZONE
Yellow indicates a general warning.
Slow down and be careful when you see
a yellow sign. It may signal a railroad
crossing ahead, a no passing zone, or
some other potentially dangerous
situation. Likewise, a yellow solid line
painted on the road means
Don’t Cross.
HOSPITAL INFORMATION
Blue signs with white letters show
motorists’ services.
