Radio Shack 120-2130A manual

Clean the tape head after about every 20 hours of playing time. Insert a special head-cleaning cassette, and follow the cassette's direction to clean the tape head. Your local RadioShack store offers a variety of cassette player head cleaners.

Restoring Tape Tension And Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape a few times, the tape might become tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the beginning to the end of one side, then turn the tape over and completely fast-forward through the other side. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette's outer shell on a flat surface.

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette.

Replacing A Fuse

If the stereo does not operate properly, you might need to replace the red power wire's fuse with the supplied spare fuse.

If the clock resets or stored stations are lost when the ignition is off, you might need to replace the yellow continuous power wire's fuse with the supplied spare fuse.

CAUTION: Do not use a fuse with ratings other than those specified here. Doing so might damage your stereo.

WARNING: Before you replace a fuse, disconnect the cable from the vehicle battery's negative (-) terminal.

1.Hold the fuse holder by both ends, push the ends together, twist one end counterclockwise, then pull them apart.

2.If the fuse is blown, replace it. Use only standard 1-1/4 x 1/4-Inch fast-acting fuses with the proper rating. The yellow + 12V TO BATTERY wire's fuse must be 6 amps (such as Cat. No. 270-1012), and the red +12V TO IGNITION wire's fuse must be 0.5 amps (such as Cat. No.

270-1003).

CAUTION: The supplied fuses have the proper ratings. Make sure you replace a fuse only with another fuse of the same ratings.
