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.
Care of Your Cassette
Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly
is subject
to reduced sound quality, ruining
the cassette, or damaging the mechanism.
Tape cassettes that are not properly stored
in their plastic cases away from
contaminants, direct sunlight, and extreme
heat may not operate properly and could
cause premature failure
of the tape player. Your
tape player should be cleaned after
every
50 hours of use, as regular
maintenance.
If you notice a reduction in
sound quality, try a good cassette to see if
the tape or the tape player is at fault.
If the
second cassette results in no improvement
in sound quality, try cleaning the tape
player.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing
action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette.
This system uses a cleaning cassette with
pads which scrub the tape head as
the
hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It is
normal for the cartridge
to eject while
cleaning. Insert the cassette at least
3
times to ensure thorough cleaning. A
scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Pontiac dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing
action, wet-type cleaner which uses a
cassette with a fabric belt to clean the tape
head. This type of cleaning cassette will
not eject. It may not clean as thoroughly
as the scrubbing type cleaner.

Comfort Controls & Audio Systems
Cassettes are subject to wear and the
sound quality may degrade over time.
Always verify that the cassette tape is
in
good condition before obtaining service
on your tape player.
Please note that cassette tape adapter kits
for portable
CD players will not work in
your cassette player. These adapter
cassettes will be ejected by
the radio.
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.
