Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player
and Tapes
In order to keep your cassette tape player
performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
Using a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge or
equivalent to clean the tape player head after
10-12 hours of play will help maintain the best
playback sound and proper tape operation.
Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less
should be used. Tapes longer than 90 minutes
are thinner and subject to breakage or may jam
the tape player mechanism.
Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme conditions,
allow them to reach a moderate temperature
before playing.
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a pencil
into one of the holes and turning the hub until
the tape is tight.
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape player
when not in use. High heat in the vehicle can
cause the cassette to warp.
