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 rear quarter panel.
Backglass Antenna (If Equipped)
Your AM-FM antenna is now integrated with your rear
window defogger, into your rear window. Be sure that
the inside surface of the rear window is not scratched
and that the lines on the glass
are not damaged. If
the inside surface is damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception.
Because this antenna is built into your
rear window,
there
is a reduced risk of damage caused by car washes
and vandals.
If you choose to add a cellular telephone to your
Pontiac, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, be sure
that you do not darnage the grid lines for
the AM-FM antenna. There is enough space between the
lines to attach
a cellular telephone antenna without
interfering with
radio reception.
