To keep your GE telephone working and looking good, follow these few
simple guidelines;
• Avoid putting the unit near heating appliances and devices that
generate electrical noise, (i.e., motors, fluorescent lamps.)
• The unit should not be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Avoid dropping and other rough treatment of the unit.
• Clean with a soft cloth. (Remember to first unplug the unit from the
wall outlet.)
• Never use a strong cleaning agent or abrasive powder, as this can
damage the finish.
• Retain the original packaging for future use.

Because the head and capstan assemblies are in contact with the tape, dirt
and residue from the tape can easily adhere to these parts, causing
distortion.
These parts should therefore be cleaned periodically (at least twice a year)
in the following manner.
1. Remove cassette from unit.
2. Clean the head surface, pressure rollers and
capstans with a cotton swab. If these
surfaces are extremely dirty, dampen the
cotton swab with alcohol or use a tape head
cleaning kit (follow the manufacturer's
directions regarding use).
