MAINTENANCE
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.
2. Keep the product away from dust and
dirt, which can cause premature wear
of parts.
3. Handle the product gently and
carefully. Dropping it can damage
circuit boards and cases, and can
cause the product to work improperly.
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.
3. Clean the tape head with the cotton
swab.
4. Clean the capstans and the pinch
rollers with the cotton swab.
5. Allow the tape head, capstans and
pinch rollers to dry before operating.
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.
