Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and type. Batteries can leak chemicals
that damage your recorder's electronic
parts.
Wipe the recorder with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the recorder.
Modifying or tampering with the recorder's internal parts
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warran-
ty. If your recorder is not operating as it should, take it to
your local RadioShack store for assistance.
CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's coating can accumu-
late on the tape heads and other parts that the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the
cassette recorder. To prevent noise and poor high-fre-
quency response, clean the cassette recorder's tape-
handling parts after about 20 hours of use. Use a cas-
sette deck cleaning kit (Cat. No. 44-1202) or follow these
steps to clean the tape-handling parts.
