Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 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
FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise
from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
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.
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, Cadillac radio
or other systems, and even
damage them.
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 may cause failure of the tape player.
Your
tape player should be cleaned regularly after every
50 hours of use. Your radio may display CLN or CLEAN
TAPE to indicate that you have used your tape player for
50 hours without resetting the tape clean timer. Each time
the cassette
is cleaned, the 50 hour cassette timer should
be reset. This is done by holding down the eject button
for five seconds or until the
TAPE CLEAN message is
displayed. 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.
Cleaning may be done with a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette with pads which scrub
the
tape head as the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn. It
is normal for the cassette
to eject while cleaning. Insert
the cassette at least six times to ensure thorough
cleaning.
A scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Cadillac dealer. You may
also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-tyw
cleaner which uses a cassette with a fabric belt
to clean
the tape head. This type of cleaning cassette will not
eject.
It may not clean as thoroughly as the scrubbing
type cleaner.
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.
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.
