PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

• This unit is designed for negative ground 12V DC operation only. The equipment can
be used safely, if the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the vehicle metal
work.
• Do not use speakers of impedance less than 4 ohms; and do not allow the speaker
wires to be sorted together when the unit is switched on.
Otherwise it may overload or burn out the power amplifier stage.
• If the car interior is extremely hot, as after being parked in the sun, do not use the
player until the car has been driven for a while to cool off the interior.
• Take care of your tape cassette to preserve the quality of the recordings. Do not allow
them to be exposed to direct sunlight. Store them in a place protected from dirt and
dust and avoid handling with greasy or oily hands. Also, keep the away from magnets,
and motors of the permanent magnet type.
• It is not advisable to use cassette tapes longer than C-90 (45 minutes per side) in
automobile players, since the tape is too thin and lends to become easily entangled.
Always remove the cassette from your tape player as soon as play is finished.
• The cassette head and pinch roller assay should be cleaned about every 6 MONTHS
depending on use.
This should be done with a good quality head cleaning tape.
• A loosely wound cassette tape will get damaged, prior to using such tape, tighten it
in a manner as indicated by Fig. 1. A carelessly wound cassette tape will cause
unnecessary pressure on the tape resulting in the cassette springing out while the
tape is running. For prevention, rewind the tape by fast forwarding or rewinding.
