Radio Shack SCR-65 specifications Care, Cleaning the Tape-HandlingParts

To prevent accidental erasure of a tape re- cording, use a screwdriver to remove one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-protection tabs. This prevents RECORD from being pressed.

If you later decide to record on a tape side af- ter you have removed the erase-protection tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over that side’s erase-protection hole. Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered by the erase-protection tab.

Caution: Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from erasing a cassette tape.

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 performance of the cassette player. After every 20 hours of tape player operation, follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts or use a RadioShack cassette deck cleaning kit.

1.Set TAPE RADIO OFF/RADIO to TAPE RADIO OFF.

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

3.Open the cassette compartment door.

4.Hold down the erase-protection tab sen- sor inside the cassette compartment, then press RECORD to expose the record/ playback and erase heads, then press PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts.

CARE

Keep the cassette recorder dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the cassette recorder only in normal temperature environments. Handle the cassette recorder carefully; do not drop it. Keep the cassette re- corder away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it look- ing new.

Modifying or tampering with the cassette re- corder’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your cassette recorder is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
