Be aware that hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes of sound.
Sound that
seems normal can be loud and harmful to your hearing. Take
precautions by adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe sound
level before
your hearing adapts to it.
To hclp avoid hearing loss or damage:
0 Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
0 Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.

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.
