Modifying or tampering with the recorder’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might in- validate the recorder’s warranty. If your recorder is not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra- dioShack store for assistance.

CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accu- mulate on the tape heads and other parts the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the cassette recorder. After every 20 hours of tape player operation, use a cassette deck cleaning kit or follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts.

1.Remove the batteries and disconnect any other power source.

2.Open the cassette compartment door.

3.Press PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts.
