Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is
between +60°C (+140°F) and -10°C (+14°F)
before turning your unit on.
Tape Slack
Check and make sure any slack in the tape
is taken up before inserting the tape into the
unit. A loose tape can get caught in the
mechanism and cause damage to the unit
and the tape itself. Tighten the tape by
inserting a pencil or a similar instrument into
the spindle hole and turn until all the slack
has been taken up.
Excessively Thin Tape
C-120 type cassette tapes are not recom-
mended for use in automobile tape players.
Precision Tape Mechanism
Prevent any foreign objects from entering the
cassette opening as the precision mecha-
nism and tape head may be damaged.
Never play dirty or dusty tapes — they can
damage the tape head.
Tape Head Cleaning
Periodic cleaning (approximately every
20 hours of use) of the tape head with a
head-cleaning cassette tape (available at
audio stores) is necessary for best perform-
ance.
