CONNECTIONS
AC:
Use the AC polarized line cord included with the unit for
operation on AC power. Insert the small end of the AC cord into
the AC socket on the back cabinet of the unit. Insert the other
end of the AC cord into any convenient 120V 60Hz household
outlet.
NOTE: The AC plug supplied with the unit is polarized to help
minimize the possibility of electric shock. If the AC plug does not
fit into a nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the wide
blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace
the obsolete outlet.
DC:
Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit and insert six (6) “C” cell batteries (not included), observing
the battery polarity indicated inside the compartment. Replace the Battery Compartment cover.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:
1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the battery
compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh
ones.
4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury
from possible battery leakage.
5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow
battery manufacturer’s directions.)

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SAFEGUARD AGAINST ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
When a new recording is made, any program material
previously recorded is automatically erased and only the
new recording remains. To safeguard valuable
recordings from being erased accidentally, the cassette
and the deck are equipped with a special device.
On the back of the cassette there is an erase prevention
tab on each side. To prevent accidental erasing, break
out these tabs with a screwdriver. If only one side of the
tape is to be protected, break out the tab on the left side
with the side desired facing you.
To record on a tape in which the tab has been broken,
place a piece of adhesive tape over that area.
NOTE: When a tab is broken out, the record button
cannot be depressed.
CASSETTE TAPE RECOMMENDATIONS
Standard tape lengths have 15 (C-30), 30 (C-60) and 45 (C-90) minutes of
recording time on each side. Longer length tapes of 60 (C-120) minutes of
recording time on each side are not recommended. Use only high quality
tapes. If a problem develops, check the unit first with another cassette to
determine if the problem is with the cassette, and not with the unit.
If there is any slack in the cassette, it should be removed before inserting
the cassette. Place a pencil in one of the hubs and rotate it clockwise
until all slack is taken up.
Cleaning the unit
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning.
• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution
when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.
• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
• Periodic cleaning of the tape heads, capstan and pinch roller is necessary to maintain good sound
reproduction. Clean them after every 100 hours of use or less if playback has deteriorated. Use a cotton
swab moistened with head cleaning solution or isopropyl alcohol, then wipe dry with another swab.
NOTE: Never use metal objects on or near the tape heads. Do not allow any cleaning material to fall into the
tape assembly.
