unless you have to. If you have left the engine running,
the vehicle can move suddenly.
If you use the accessory power outlets for more than
10 minutes after turning off your engine, you will risk
running your battery down. For more information about
accessory power outlets, contact your dealer.

telephone controls and information output through the

3-44
The Setup Wizard will guide you through the steps to
create an e
-mail service. You may need to contact your
ISP for the information required to complete the setup.
Receiving and Sending E-Mail
Your radio uses the cellular phone to connect to your
ISP. Make sure the phone is secure and connected.
Begin the modem session by connecting the modem
cable (or serial cable with a null modem) to your
computing device. Press and release the modem door on
the radio near the recessed bumps. Connect the cable to
the radio's 25
-pin connector. Start your e-mail program
and connect to the ISP. The radio will receive the phone
number from your PDA and instruct the phone to dial
the number. While connecting, the audio from your
radio will be briefly muted and you will hear the tones
being generated as the modem establishes a connection.
When the connection is complete, the audio will return.
When you end your e
-mail session your radio will
instruct the phone to hang up.
Cellular Phone Reception
If the reception of the cellular signal weakens the error
rate of the modem will increase. If you are having
difficulty connecting or sending and receiving data the
cellular signal may be too weak. To ensure good signal conditions, the cell phone display should show
a minimum of three to four bars for signal strength.
The volume on the phone handset should be set to
three bars for best results.
Text Based Information Services
Your radio can be used to gather information using
enhanced Radio Data Systems (RDS) while you are out of
the vehicle. The radio can provide text
-based information
such as traffic and weather. This is done through a
nationwide network of FM stations. You do not need to
know which station is providing this service, the radio will
search out the station when not being used. Your dealer
can provide details on how to obtain this service.
You can program the radio to automatically wake up
twice daily, for example, at 7 AM and again at 4:30 PM.
If your vehicle is off, the radio will wake up at these
programmed times to gather the information. Although
the radio is awake and receiving data, it will appear to
be off. There will be no sound or display. It may take
up to 15 minutes for each update. The information
will then be available for review when you enter your
vehicle. If the vehicle is on at the time of the scheduled
update, the update will not be performed. In addition
to the user programmable times, the system will
automatically update the information when you turn
the ignition off and leave the vehicle.

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, radio or other systems,
and even damage them. Your vehicle's systems
may also 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.
Care of Your Cassette Tape Player
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause
reduced sound quality, ruined cassettes or a damaged
mechanism. Cassette tapes should be stored in their
cases away from contaminants, direct sunlight and
extreme heat. If they aren't, they may not operate
properly or may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLEAN TAPE
to indicate that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. If this
message appears on the display, your cassette tape
player needs to be cleaned. It will still play tapes, but
you should clean it as soon as possible to prevent
damage to your tapes and player. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette
to see if it is the tape or the tape player at fault. If this
other cassette has no improvement in sound quality,
clean the tape player.
The recommended cleaning method for your
cassette tape player is the use of a scrubbing action,
non
-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
The recommended cleaning cassette is available through
your dealership (GM Part No. 12344789).

3-56 Diversity Antenna System
Your AM-FM antennas are located in the front
windshield and rear window. Be sure that the inside
surfaces of the front windshield and rear window are
not scratched and that the lines on the glass are not
damaged. If the inside surfaces are damaged, they
could interfere with radio reception.
NOTICE:
Do not try to clear frost or other material from
the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp. This may damage
the rear defogger grid and affect your radio's
ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
wouldn't be covered by your warranty.
If, when you turn on your rear window defogger, you
hear static on your radio station, it could mean that a
defogger grid line has been damaged. If this is true,
the grid line must be repaired.
If you choose to add an aftermarket cellular telephone to
your vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, be sure that you do not damage the grid lines for
the AM
-FM antennas or place the cellular telephone
antenna over the grid lines.
