MAINTENANCE  
3. Clean the tape head with the cotton  
swab.  
For System  
The following suggestions help you care  
for the product so that you can enjoy it  
for years.  
1. Keep the product dry. If it does get  
wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
Liquids might contain minerals that  
can corrode the electronic circuits.  
4. Clean the capstans and the pinch  
rollers with the cotton swab.  
2. Keep the product away from dust and  
dirt, which can cause premature wear  
of parts.  
5. Allow the tape head, capstans and  
pinch rollers to dry before operating.  
3. Handle the product gently and  
carefully. Dropping it can damage  
circuit boards and cases, and can  
cause the product to work improperly.  
6. Do not touch the tape with your  
fingers; if it becomes lose, wind it  
back by twisting a six-sided pencil in  
the cassette reel.  
4. Wipe the product with a dampened  
cloth occasionally to keep it looking  
new. Do not use harsh chemicals,  
cleaning solvents, or strong  
detergents to clean the product.  
5. Use and store the product only in  
normal temperature environments.  
High temperature can shorten the life  
of electronic devices, damage  
batteries, and distort or melt plastic  
parts.  
For Tape Player  
Periodic cleaning of the tape head and  
capstan shaft will ensure good  
reproduction of music and trouble-free  
operation. Cleaning of the tape head  
should be done every 20 to 30 hours of  
operation or when the high tones have  
become less clear.  
1. Use a cassette cleaning cartridge if  
available. If one is not available, use  
a cotton swab soaked in isopropyl  
(rubbing) alcohol.  
2. While holding the tape door open,  
locate tape head to the right of the  
opening and in the centre of the unit.

IGNITION AND INTERFERENCE NOISE  
Ignition  
Interference  
The most common source of noise in  
reception is the ignition system. This is  
normally due to the fact that radio is  
placed relatively close to the ignition  
system (engine). This type of noise can  
be easily detected because it will vary in  
intensity of pitch with the speed of the  
engine.  
Radio reception in a moving environment  
(automobile) is very different from  
reception in a stationary (home). It is  
very important to understand the  
difference.  
AM reception will deteriorate when  
passing through a tunnel or when  
passing under high voltage lines. Also,  
noise can be picked up from passing  
automobiles. Although AM is subject to  
environmental noise, it has the ability to  
be received at great distance.  
This is due to the fact that broadcasting  
signals follow the curvature of the earth  
and are reflected back by the upper  
atmosphere.  
Usually, the ignition noise can be  
suppressed considerably by using a  
radio suppression type high voltage  
ignition wire and suppressor resistor in  
the ignition system. (Most vehicles  
employ this wire and resistor but it may  
be necessary to check them for correct  
operation.) Another method of  
suppression is the use of additional noise  
suppressors. These can be obtained  
from most CB/Amateur radio or  
FM reception is just the opposite of AM.  
It is not subject to environmental noise  
and it does not have the ability to be  
received at great distances (usually 30  
miles). Also, the FM signal can be  
blocked by tall buildings, mountains, or  
hills.  
electronic supply shops.  
To reduce the possibility of these  
problems, ALWAYS FINE TUNE a station,  
and if possible, set the antenna height to  
30 inches.
