Modifying or tampering with the recorder’s internal
parts can cause a malfunction and might invalidate
your recorder’s warranty. If your recorder is not oper-
ating as it should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.

CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS

Clean the tape-handling parts after every 20 hours of
use.

With power supplied and the cassette removed, open
the cassette compartment door. Use a pointed object
to gently push the erase protection tab sensor to the
left, and press

REC

to expose the tape-handling parts.

Use a cotton swab dipped in tape head cleaning solu-
tion or denatured alcohol to gently clean the tape-
handling parts.

Or, for easier cleaning, use RadioShack’s microcas-
sette cleaner kit (Cat. No. 44-1168), which includes a
special cleaning cassette.

After you finish cleaning, press

STOP/EJ
