Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
Tips About Your Audio System
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
help avoid hearing loss or damage:
Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 with every
50 hours
of use to provide optimum performance.
Your radio may
display Cln to indicate that you have used your tape
player for
50 hours without resetting the tape clean
timer.
If you notice a reduction in sound quality,
regardless
of when the tape player was last cleaned, try
playing a different 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.
Proper tape player cleaning should be done with
a
scrubbing action, non-abrasive cleaner cassette. This is a
wet-type cleaning system that uses
a cleaning cassette
with pads that scrub the tape head as the hubs of
the
cleaner cassette turn. To properly clean your tape player,
follow the instructions with the cleaning cassette. If
you
use this type of cleaner, the radio may display an error
and eject the cartridge. This is normal and is the result
of an added feature in the tape player that detects broken
tapes. If an error occurs, you will need to insert the
cleaning cassette at least three times to thoroughly clean
the tape player.
You may prefer to use a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner. This type
of cleaner uses a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaner cassette will not
cause an error, but
it may not clean the tape player as
thoroughly as the scrubbing-type cleaner.
A scrubbing action cleaner is available through your
dealer
(GM Part No. 12344600).
Cassettes are subject to wear, and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always verify that the cassette tape
is
in good condition and the tape player is clean before
obtaining service on your tape player.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.

buttons on your steering wheel.

decrease volume.
