To enjoy your RadioShack AM/FM Ste-
reo Cassette Player for a long time:
• Keep the stereo dry. If it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately.
• Handle the stereo gently and care-
fully. Don't drop it.
• Keep the stereo away from dust and
dirt.
• Wipe the stereo with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the stereo's
internal components can cause a mal-
function and invalidate its warranty. If
your stereo is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

adjust the stereo's volume to a com-
fortable listening level.
• When you connect a cable into the
stereo's CD IN jack, the radio and
cassette player do not operate. Be
sure you disconnect the CD player
when you are not using it.

cassette deck cleaning kit to clean the
