Care
To prevent accidental erasure of a tape
recording, use a screwdriver to remove
one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-
protection tabs. This prevents
RECORD
from being pressed.
If you later decide to record on a tape
side after you have removed the erase-
protection tab, place a piece of strong
plastic tape over that side’s erase-pro-
tection hole. Be sure you cover only the
hole originally covered by the erase-pro-
tection tab.
Caution: Removing the erase-protec-
tion tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser
from erasing a cassette tape.

Care
Keep the recorder dry; if it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Use and store
the recorder only in normal temperature
environments. Handle the recorder care-
fully; do not drop it. Keep the recorder
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with
a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the record-
er’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its war-
ranty. If your recorder is not performing
as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
CLEANING THE TAPE-
HANDLING PARTS
Dirt, dust or particles of the tape's coat-
ing can accumulate on the tape heads
and other parts that the tape touches.
This can greatly reduce the performance
of the cassette player. After every 20
hours of tape player operation, follow
these steps to clean the tape-handling
parts or use a cassette deck cleaning kit
(available at your local RadioShack
store).
1. Remove the batteries and discon-
nect any other power source.
2. Open the cassette compartment
door and press
PLAY
to expose the
tape-handling parts.
