FORD 2003 E-550 v.2 - Manual (Page 32)

Dew sensor circuit
• Under high moisture (dewed) conditions, the tape heads and cassette
tape may be damaged if the VCP is operated.
• When the vehicle’s cabin temperature is very low and then is heated
quickly, or the humidity is very high within the vehicle, the inside of
the windows most likely will be fogged. Under these conditions, the
inside of the VCP most likely is dewed.
• When a dewed condition exists, the dew sensor circuit stops machine
operation, ejects the cassette and the WAIT indicator illuminates. The
lamp will remain illuminated until the system is dry enough to operate
safely.
Cleaning video heads
Magnetic video heads convert the videocassette into pictures on the screen
during playback. Over a period of time, particles rub off the tape and are
left on the heads. Using an old or poor quality tape together with dust and
air particles, high temperature and humidity cause dirty heads. Dirty heads
generally cause “snowy” pictures and, in some severe cases, blurred or
interrupted pictures. A variety of products are available at video stores to
clean tape heads. Use these products sparingly, because some are abrasive
to the video heads. If normal head cleaning procedures do not resolve the
problem, have the system checked by a service technician.
Foreign substances
Exercise care to prevent dirt and foreign objects from entering the VCP
compartment. Be especially careful not to spill liquids of any kind onto
the media controls or into the videocassette player. If liquid is
accidentally spilled onto the system, immediately turn the system OFF
and consult a qualified service technician.
