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.

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.

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.

2. Get the vehicles close enougn so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure 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 Oldsmobile, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
You could be injured if the vehicles roll. 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
lamps that aren’t needed, and radios.
This will avoid
sparks and help Save both batteries. And it could
save your radio!
“NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries.
5. Find the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
on each battery. Your Oldsmobile has a remote
positive
(+) jump starting terminal. The terminal is
on the same side
of the engine compartment as your
battery. You should always use the remote
positive
(+) terminal instead of the positive (+)
terminal on your battery. To uncover the remote .
positive (+) termihal, lift the red plastic cap.

NEUTRAL (N) and the parking brake released.
Don’,t have your vehicle towed on the front wheels,
unless you must.. If the vehicle ‘must be towed
on the
front wheels, don’t go more
than 35 mph (56 km/h) or
farther than
50 miles (80 km) or your transaxle wilLbe
damaged. If these limits must be exceeded, then the
front wheels have
to be supported on a dolly.
