0 The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the cassette tape. "E10" may
be displayed. Hold the cassette with the open end
down and try turning the right hub counterclockwise
with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat.

hubs do not turn easily, your cassette tape may be
damaged and should not be used

Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (1 6 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 by
turning the
TREB knob or, if you have the TONE
feature, by selecting the VOCAL tone setting.

Using Your Radio Properly
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:
1. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
2. 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
(Continued)
I NOTICE: (Continued)
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 retailer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly is subject to
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes, or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes 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.
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.
Your tape player should be cleaned with every
50 hours of
use to provide optimum perfornxmce. Your radio may
display “Cln” to remind you that you have used your tape
player for
50 hours without re-setting 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 tape 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 cleaning cassette. This is
a wet-type cleaning system that uses a cleaning cassette
with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the
cleaner cassette turn. 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 ensure thorough cleaning.
You may prefer to
use 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
cause an error, but may not clean as thoroughly as the
scrubbing-type cleaner. Whichever cleaning method
YOLI choose, follow the
instructions included with the cleaning cassette to
properly clean the tape player. Cleaning cassettes are
available
in most stores that sell audio products. A
scrubbing action cleaning cassette is available through
your retailer (SPO#
12344600).
Cassette tape adapter kits for portable CD players will
not work in your cassette player. These adapters will
cause the radio to display an error and the adapter
cassette
will eject.
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.

NOTICE:
Ignoring these steps could result in costly damage
to
your vehicle that wouldn’t be covered by your
warranty.
Trying
to start your Aurora by pushing or pulling
it won’t
work, and it could damage your vehicle.
To Jump Start Your Aurora:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a I2-volt
battery
with a negative ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be s~lre the vehicles aren’t touching
each other. If they are,
it could cause a ground
connection you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able
to
start your Aurora, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
You could be injured
if the vehicle rolls. Set the
parking brake firmly on each vehicle. Put an
automatic transaxle in PARK (P) or a manual
transaxle
in NEUTRAL (N).
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all
lights that aren’t needed, and radios. This
will avoid
sparks and help
save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!
I NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
