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
df sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and hannful 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.
I 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 retailer and be sure
to check Federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
