Maintenance

The heads and tape path should be
cleaned and demagnetized periodically.
Cleaning tape path
O Apply head cleaning fluid* to a cotton
bud or soft cloth, and lightly rub the
heads, capstan and all metal parts in
the tape path.
O Also clean the pinch roller using rubber
cleaning fluid*.
* Both are available in TEAC Tape
Cleaning Kits HC-2 and RC-2 in the
U.S.A. or TZ-261 in other areas.

IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not
suitable for the power points in your
home or the cable is too short to reach
a power point, then obtain an
appropriate safety approved extension
lead or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If this product is not provided with a
mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then
follow the instructions given below:
IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any
connection to the larger terminal which
is marked with the letter E or by the
safety earth symbol ç or coloured
GREEN or GREEN-and-YELLOW.
The wires in the mains lead on this
product are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
As these colours may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or
coloured RED.
When replacing the fuse only a
correctly rated approved type should
be used and be sure to re-fit the fuse
cover.
IF IN DOUBT — CONSULT
COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.
