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 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.
