Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and type. Batteries can leak chemicals
that damage your recorder's electronic
parts.
Wipe the recorder with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the recorder.
Modifying or tampering with the recorder's internal parts
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your re-
corder's warranty. If your recorder is not operating as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's coating can accumu-
late on the tape heads and other parts that the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the
cassette player. To prevent noise and poor high-frequen-
cy response, clean the cassette player's tape-handling
parts after about 20 hours of use. Your local RadioShack
store sells cassette deck head-cleaning kits.
