SPECIAL MOUNTING
This cartridge has 12.7 mm (standard 1/2 in.)
mounting centers. Hardware is supplied with each
cartridge for mounting purposes. In some tone-
arms and plug-in shells, the cartridge is recessed
so that the stylus cannot be conveniently replaced.
For these applications, spacers are provided to
ensure adequate clearance for stylus removal.
For optimum vertical tracking angle, the cartridge
should be mounted so the top of the mounting
block is parallel to the record playing surface.
STEREOPHONIC PLAYBACK
For stereophonic playback on stereo systems,
remove the jumper wires connecting the cartridge
output pins.
CARTRIDGE OPERATION
1. Make certain cartridge is correctly mounted in
tonearm and stylus is properly inserted in car-
tridge.
2. Protect stylus with stylus guard when dusting turntable.
3. Regulate tonearm set-down to prevent stylus
from striking edge of turntable or record.
4. Do not handle tonearm while record is being
played. Use cueing device if available.
5. If manual set-down is necessary, release arm as
soon as stylus engages groove.
6. Do not activate arm without record(s) on turn-
table.
7. Do not use damaged records.
8. Check tracking force and anti-skate adjust-
ments periodically. The Shure SFG-2 Tracking
Force Gauge, available through your Shure
dealer, provides a simple way to accurately set
tracking force.
STYLUS CLEANING
Use the supplied brush to clean the stylus and
dynamic stabilizer. Brush only from back to front,
as shown
. Do not use liquids on the stabilizer
brush. Use alcohol or an alcohol-distilled water
solution to clean the stylus. Commercial cleaning
solutions may damage the stylus.
