To Unlock the System After a Power
Loss:
When battery power is reapplied to a
secured audio system after a loss of
power, the audio system will not turn on
and LOC will appear on the digital
display. You will need to unlock the
Delco LOC II@ system.
1. Turn the ignition to the ACCESSORY
or RUN position, and turn the radio
off.
2. Press SET, and 000 will appear on the
display.
3 .
Follow steps 4-8 for disabling your
anti-theft system.
4. Press the lower knob. The time will
appear on the digital display if you are
successful. If SEC appears, however,
the numbers did not match and your
audio system is still locked.
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 also
pick up noise from things like storms and
power lines. To lower this noise, try
reducing the treble level.
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 cause
failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned after
every 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. It is
normal for the cartridge to eject while
cleaning. Insert the cassette at least 3
times to ensure thorough cleaning.
A
scrubbing action cleaning cassette is
available through your Pontiac dealership.
