Precautions
Tape Slack
Check and make sure any slack in the tape is
taken up before inserting the tape into the unit.
A loose tape can get caught in the mechanism
and cause damage to the unit and the tape
itself. Tighten the tape by inserting a pencil or a
similar instrument into the spindle hole and turn
until all the slack has been taken up.
Precision Tape Mechanism
Prevent any foreign objects from entering the
cassette opening as the precision mechanism
and tape head may be damaged.
Never play dirty or dusty tapes – they can
damage the tape head.
Tape Head Cleaning
Periodic cleaning (approximately every
20 hours of use) of the tape head with a wet
type head-cleaning cassette tape (available at
audio stores) is necessary for best perform-
ance.
Excessively Thin Tape
C-120 type cassette tapes are not recom-
mended for use in automobile tape players.
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is
b60˚C (+140˚F) and –10˚C (+14˚F)
before turning your unit on.
