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,
DelcoB 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.
For the best performance, an
external cellular telephone antenna
is recommended for cellular
telephone applications.
So, before adding sound equipment,
check
with your dealer and be sure
to check Federal rules covering
mobile radio and telephone units.
