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

CAUTION
1. This unit is designed to operate on
12-volts DC, negative ground

eliminate most of the noise that might
come through the power source.

might be present.
electrical system only. Do not attempt
to install this unit in a vehicle having a
positive ground system.
2. You should not touch the
high-polished playback head with any
metallic or magnetic tools.
IGNITION AND INTERFERENCE NOISE
Ignition
Interference
The most common source of noise in
reception is the ignition system. This is
normally due to the fact that radio is
placed relatively close to the ignition
system (engine). This type of noise can
be easily detected because it will vary in
intensity of pitch with the speed of the
engine.
Radio reception in a moving environment
(automobile) is very different from
reception in a stationary (home). It is
very important to understand the
difference.
AM reception will deteriorate when
passing through a tunnel or when
passing under high voltage lines. Also,
noise can be picked up from passing
automobiles. Although AM is subject to
environmental noise, it has the ability to
be received at great distance.
This is due to the fact that broadcasting
signals follow the curvature of the earth
and are reflected back by the upper
atmosphere.
Usually, the ignition noise can be
suppressed considerably by using a
radio suppression type high voltage
ignition wire and suppressor resistor in
the ignition system. (Most vehicles
employ this wire and resistor but it may
be necessary to check them for correct
operation.) Another method of
suppression is the use of additional noise
suppressors. These can be obtained
from most CB/Amateur radio or
FM reception is just the opposite of AM.
It is not subject to environmental noise
and it does not have the ability to be
received at great distances (usually 30
miles). Also, the FM signal can be
blocked by tall buildings, mountains, or
hills.
electronic supply shops.
To reduce the possibility of these
problems, ALWAYS FINE TUNE a station,
and if possible, set the antenna height to
30 inches.
