Initial Set-Up

AC Line Operation

1.The power cord is located at the rear of the unit. Release the cord retainer tab and uncoil the cord.

Battery Operation

PROBLEMS

General

The unit does not operate.

Cassette

Cassette cannot be loaded.

The tape does not move.

The tape gets caught in the tape transport mechanism.

ITEMS TO CHECK

Is the AC power cord unplugged? Are the batteries fully charged?

Is cassette being loaded properly? Is the PLAY key depressed?

Is the PAUSE key depressed?

Is the pinch roller or capstan dirty? Is there excessive slack in the tape?

1.The battery compartment is located at the rear of the unit. Push the lever at the center of the door toward the rear of the unit, then lift the door free.

2.Eight “D” or UM-1 size batteries are required. When installing refer to the orientation diagram shown inside the battery compartment. Place the batteries on top of the nylon ribbon. This helps to “pop” old batteries out when you need to replace them.

3.Replace the battery cover.

IMPORTANT: Remove all batteries from your cassette unit if it will not be used for an extended period of time.

DO NOT LEAVE DISCHARGED BATTERIES IN THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. DAMAGE TO THE UNIT DUE TO BATTERY CORROSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

NOTE: Califone cassette recorders are designed for use only with Type 1 Normal Bias recording tape.

Tape speed is slow. Is the tape too old or the quality bad?
