Your Dekoa audio system has been designed to operate easily and give
years of listening pleasure. But you will get the most enjoyment out of it,
if
you acquaint yourself with it first. Find out what your Delco@ system can do
and how

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 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.
