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

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.
