CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RCA
Keep the cassette deck dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the cassette deck gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit boards and case and can cause the cassette deck to work improperly.
Use and store the cassette deck only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the cassette deck away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the cassette deck with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the cassette deck.
Modifying or tampering with the cassette deck’s internal parts can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your cassette deck’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your cassette deck is not operating as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
