Battery Installation
In the Remote Control Unit
Battery Replacement
If the distance required between the remote control unit and
main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case
replace the batteries with new ones.
Precautions concerning batteries
<
Be sure to insert two "AA"(R6, SUM-3) dry batteries with
correct positive "
+
" and negative "
_
" polarities.
<
Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of
batteries together.
<
Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used.
Refer to the precautions on their labels.
<
When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time
(more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote
control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe
away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the
batteries with new ones.
<
Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old
batteries by throwing them in a fire.
In the Main Unit
(Underside of the unit)
These batteries supply a backup power to a built-in clock when
the unit is momentarily disconnected from the AC power line.
Maintenance
The heads and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetized
periodically.
Cleaning Tape Path
<
Apply head cleaning fluid to a cotton swab or soft cloth, and
lightly rub the heads, capstan and all metal parts in the tape
path.
<
Also clean the pinch roller using rubber cleaning fluid.
Demagnetizing Heads
Be sure that the power is off, then demagnetize the heads
using a demagnetizer. For details of its use, read its
instructions.
Caution:
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid
completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may
damage the surface of the unit.
