~~ AM Stereo
This
means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@
stereo broadcasts. Many AM stations around the country
use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo, though some do not.
(C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.)
If your Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come on when you’re receiving it.
Be aware that 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:
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, 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 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 cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly each
month or after every
15 hours of use. If you notice a
reduction in sound quality, try
a known good cassette to
see if the tape or the tape player is at fault. If this other
cassette has no improvement in sound quality, clean the
tape player.
Clean your tape player
with a wiping-action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette, and follow the directions
provided with
it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may
degrade over time. Always make sure that the cassette
tape is
in good condition before you have your tape
player serviced.
