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.
Cassette Tape Player Care
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 may cause failure of the tape player.
Your tape player should be cleaned regularly 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.
The recommended tape player cleaning method is with a
scrubbing-action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette. This is
a wet-type cleaning system that uses a cleaning cassette
with pads which scrub the tape head as the hubs of the
cleaner cassette turn. If you use this type of cleaner, the
radio may eject the cartridge. This is nornlal and is
the
result of an added feature in the tape player that detects
broken tapes. If the cleaning cassette is ejected, you will
need to insert
it
a total of at least three times to
thoroughly clean the tape player.
