Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the

product, and to protect it from overheating. These openings

must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never

be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or

other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a

built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless

proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s

instructions have been adhered to.

Power Sources — This product should be operated only

from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your

home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

For products intended to operate from battery power, or

other sources, refer to the operating instruction.

Impor

Grounding or Polarization — This product may be

equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a

plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit

into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Power-Cord Protection — Power supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched

by items placed upon or against them, paying particular

attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and

points where they exit from the product.

Lightning — For added protection for this product during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for

long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the product due to lightning and power-line

surges.

Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension

cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result

in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind

into this product through openings, as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result

in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the

product.

Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself

as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified service personnel.

Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

product,

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

• If the product does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions as an

improper adjustment of other controls may result in

damage and will often require extensive work by a

qualified technician to restore the product to its normal

operation,

Cections

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any

way, and

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance – this indicates a need for service.

Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have

the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other

hazards.

Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs

to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety

checks to determine that the product is in proper operating

condition.

Wall or Ceiling Mounting — The product should be

mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the

manufacturer.

Heat — The product should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced

radio/TV technician for help.

• If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC

requires that you stop using your karaoke system.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by

RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

Be careful not to damage the

cassette when tapping it. Do not

touch the exposed tape or allow

any sharp objects near the

cassette.

After you play a cassette tape several 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 completely rewind it.

Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each edge of

the cassette on a flat surface. .

If you use a metal or high-bias type

tape, the recorded sound might not

be erased properly.

Cassette tapes have two erase-protection tabs — one for

each side. When a tab is in place, you can record on that

side. To prevent accidental erasure of a tape recording, 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 after

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. ±ý.

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. .

You might permanently damage

your speakers by cleaning them
