CLEANING THE TAPE HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accumulate on the tape heads and other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the cassette player’s performance. To prevent noise and poor high- frequency response, clean the cas- sette player’s tape handling parts af- ter every 20 hours of use. Your local RadioShack store sells a complete line of cassette deck cleaning sup- plies.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your CTR-110 might cause TV or ra- dio interference even when it is oper- ating properly. To determine whether your CTR-110 is causing the interfer- ence, turn off your CTR-110. If the in- terference goes away, your CTR-110 is causing it. Try to eliminate the in- terference by:

•Moving your CTR-110 away from the receiver

•Connecting your CTR-110 to an

outlet that is on a different elec- trical circuit from the receiver

•Contacting your local Ra- dioShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interfer- ence, the FCC requires that you stop using your CTR-110.
