NOTICE: 
Before you add  any sound equipment  to your  vehicle - like a 
tape  player, 
CB radio,  mobile  telephone  or two-way  radio - be 
sure  you can add  what  you  want. 
If you can, it’s  very  important 
to  do  it properly.  Added  sound equipment  may interfere  with the 
operation  of your  vehicle’s  engine,  Delco@  radio or other 
systems,  and even  damage  them.  And,  your vehicle’s  systems 
may  interfere  with the operation 
of sound equipment  that has 
been  added improperly. 
So, before  adding sound equipment,  check  with your dealer  and 
be  sure  to check  Federal rules  covering  mobile  radio  and 
telephone units. 
How to Operate Your AM ETR Radio

The  knob  behind  the PWR-VOL knob is the TONE knob.  Rotate  this 
knob  clockwise 
for more  treble  and counterclockwise for more  bass.

Care of Your Cassette  Tape  Player 
A tape  player  that is not cleaned  regularly  can  result in reduced  sound 
quality,  ruined  cassettes, or a  damaged  player  mechanism.  Cassette  tapes 
should  be  stored  in  their  plastic  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. 
As regular  maintenance,  your  tape  player  should  be  cleaned  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. 
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. 
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.
