Modifying or tampering with the recorder’s internal
components can cause a malfunction and might in-
validate the recorder’s warranty. If your recorder is
not performing as it should, take it to your local Ra-
dioShack store for assistance.
CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accu-
mulate on the tape heads and other parts the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of
the cassette recorder. After every 20 hours of tape
player operation, use a cassette deck cleaning kit or
follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts.
1. Remove the batteries and disconnect any other
power source.
2. Open the cassette compartment door.
3. Press PLAY to expose the tape-handling
parts.
