Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such
as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance
of
fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter
a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
mode knob
to FLOOR and the fan to the highest
speed for
a few moments before driving off. This
helps clear the intake ducts of snow and moisture
and reduces the chance
of fogging the inside of your
windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats cle.ar of
objects. This helps air circulate throughout your
vehicle.

CD Player Anti-Theft Feature
Delco LOC II@ is a security feature that can be used or
ignored. If
you ignore it, the radio will play normally. If
you
use it, your radio cannot be turned on if it is stolen.
These instructions will
tell you how to enter a secret
code
into the radio. If battery power is lost for any
reason, the secret code must
be entered again before
your audio system can be turned on.

safe place. This is your secret code.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Rotate the PWR-VOL knob to turn the radio off.
4. Press station preset buttons 1 and 4 at the same time

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.
3-11

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 also
pick up noise from things like storms and power lines.
To lower this noise, try reducing the treble level.
,*ps for Using 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, 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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. Tape cassettes 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.
Your tape player should be cleaned after
50 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. Cleaning
may be done with
a scrubbing action,
non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This system uses a
cleaning cassette with pads which scrub the tape head as
the hubs of the cleaner cassette turn.
A scrubbing action
cleaning cassette is available through your Chevrolet dealership.
You may also choose a non-scrubbing action, wet-type
cleaner which uses
a cassette with a fabric belt to clean
the tape head. 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 verify that
the cassette tape
is
in good condition before you have your tape player
serviced.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.

Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged. If the mast should ever become
slightly bent,
you can straighten it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent, as it might be by vandals,
you should
replace it.
Check every once in a while
to be sure the mast is still
tightened to the fender.
