45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer than that are so thin that they
may not work well in this player.

AmSt
The AmSt button is just below the PWR button. Push this when you tune to
an AM station that broadcasts in stereo. Your
STEREO light will come on
when you’re receiving AM stereo.
If you push AmSt and there is no more
noise,
it means the station is weak. You’ll hear the station better if you don’t
use
AmSt. Just push the AmSt button again to cancel stereo.
NOTE: Your Delco system may be able to 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@ signals, your
STEREO light will
come on when you are receiving stereo.

radio. The arrows indicate which side
of the tape is being played.

Care of Your Cassette Tape PIayer
A tape player that is not cleaned regularly can cause reduced so\
und 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 15 hours of
use. If you notice a reduction in sound quality, try a known good cassette to
see
if the tape or the 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 clean\
ing cassette,
and follow the directions provided with
it.
Cassettes are subject to wear and the sound quality may degrad\
e over time.
Always make sure that the cassette tape is in good condition \
before you
have your tape player serviced.
K1313
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.
