CD Player Anti-Theft Feature
Delco LOC II@ is an anti-theft feature
for the compact disc player. It can be
used or ignored. If ignored, the system
plays normally. If it is used, your player won’t be usable if it is ever stolen,
because it will go to
LOC mode any
time battery power is removed. It will also go to LOC mode any time power
from the battery is turned
off by the
Battery Rundown Protection feature (see
the
Index under Battery Rundown
Protection). Until an unLOC code is
entered, it will not turn on.
The instructions below tell you how to
enter a secret code into the system. If
your vehicle loses battery power for any reason, you must unlock the system with
the secret code before your audio system
will
turn on.
To Set the Anti-Theft System:
1 . Write down any six-digit number and
keep it in a safe place. This is your
secret code.
2. Turn the ignition to the Accessory or
Run position.
3. Press the PWR button to turn the
radio off.
116
4. Press station preset buttons 1 and 4
at the same time and hold until
“---” appears on the display.
NOTE: You now have only 15 seconds
between each of the following steps.
5. Press SET, and 000 will appear on
the display.
6. Press the SEEK, button until the
first digit of your code appears.
7. Rotate the lower knob right or left
until the second and third digits of
your code appear.
8. Press the lower knob (000 will
appear again on the display).
9. Press the SEEK, button until the
fourth digit of your code appears.
1 0. Rotate the lower knob right or left
until the
fifth and sixth digits of
your code appear.
1 1 . Press the lower knob (rEP will
appear for five seconds, then
000).
12. Repeat steps 6-11. This time SEC
will appear, indicating that Delco
LOC II@ is set, and your audio
system is secure.
To Disable the Anti-Theft System:
Enter your secret code by following
these steps (you will have only
15
seconds between each step).
1 . Turn the ignition to the Accessory or
Run position, and turn the radio off.
2. Press station preset buttons 1 and 4 at
the same time.
SEC will appear on
the display, indicating the audio system is secure.
3. Press SET, and 000 will appear on
the display.
4. Press the SEEK, button until the first digit of your code appears.
5. Rotate the lower knob right or left
until the second and third digits of
your code appear.

6. Press the lower knob (000 will
appear again on the display).
7. Press the SEEK, button until the
fourth digit of your code appears.
8. Rotate the lower knob right or left
until the fifth and sixth digits
of your
code appear.
9. Press the lower knob. If the display
shows
"---", the disabling sequence
was successful (the numbers matched
the user-selected code or
the factory
back-up code) and the audio system is in the
UNSECURED mode. If the
display shows
SEC, the disabling
sequence was unsuccessful and the
numbers did not match either
of the
codes. In this case, the audio system
will remain in the
SECURED mode.
To Unlock the System After a Power
Loss:
When battery power is reapplied to a
secured audio system after a loss of
power, the audio system will not turn on
and
LOC will appear on the digital
display. You will need to unlock the
Delco LOC
II@ system.
1 . Turn the ignition to the Accessory or
Run position, and turn the radio off.
2. Press SET, and 000 will appear on
the display.
3. Follow steps 4-8 for disabling your
anti-theft system.
4. Press the lower knob. The time will
appear on the digital display if you
are successful. If
SEC appears,
however, the numbers did not match
and your audio system is still locked.
Understanding Radio Reception
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.
118
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.
