Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
EM Stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (14 to 45 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 F”,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere withveach 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.
3-17

To help avoid hearing loss or damage:
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 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, 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, nonabrasive 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
I

use this type of cleaner, the radio may display an error'
and eject the cartridge.
This is nongal 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 fabrio belt to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaner cassette will not-
cause an error, but it may not ckan the tape player as
thoroughly as the scrubbing-type cleaner.
n scrubbing action cleaner is available through your
retailer
(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.
Care of Your Compact Discs
Handle discs carefully. Store them in th,eir 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 van.dals, you should
replace it.
I
Check every once in a while to be sure the mast is still
tightened to the fender.

:Power Antenna Mast Care
Your power antenna will look its best and work well if
it’s cleaned from time
to time. To clean the antenna
mast:
1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna.
2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or
equivalent solvent.
dirt.
3. Wipe the cloth over the mast sections, removing any
4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
i. 5. Make the antenna go up and down by turning the
radio or ignition off and on.
6. Then repeat if necessary.
I NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off
your radio to make the power antenna go down.
This will prevent the mast from possibly getting
damaged.
If the antenna does not go down when
you turn the radio
off, it may be damaged or
need to be cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna by hand by carefully pressing the
antenna down.
If the mast portion of your antenna is damaged, you can
easily replace it. See your retail.er for a replacement kit
and follow the instructions in the kit.
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication
could damage
it.
