Changing The Stylus - Electrohome EA1409 Guide De L'utilisateur

CHANGING THE STYLUS

The jeweled stylus that was installed in your turntable at the time of purchase
will last for up to 300 hours of playback with 33 RPM albums or 45 RPM
singles. If you are playing older 78 RPM records, which are made from a
much harder material, the stylus life expectancy may be reduced.
When the playback sound becomes distorted and unsatisfactory, first check
to see if any dust or lint has accumulated on the stylus. If you see any visible
matter on the tip of the stylus, remove it very carefully with a soft stylus-
cleaning brush.
If there is no visible foreign matter on the stylus and the sound is still
unsatisfactory, the stylus is worn and needs to be replaced. If you continue
playing your records with a worn stylus, you may eventually cause damage to
the records themselves.
To replace the stylus:
IMPORTANT: Avoid touching the stylus itself.
1. Lift the tone arm off the tone arm rest.
2. At the front end of the tone arm, place the tip of your fingernail between
the red stylus holder and the black cartridge housing as shown, press
down on the red stylus holder until it separates from the cartridge housing.
3. Completely remove the red stylus holder with worn stylus and discard it.
4. Place the new red stylus holder with stylus under the cartridge housing.
First, press upward on the back side of the stylus holder, and then press
up on the front edge of the stylus holder until it snaps into place on the
cartridge housing.
