CLEANING THE TAPE
HANDLING PARTS
Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s
coating can accumulate on the tape
heads and other parts that the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the
cassette player’s performance. To
prevent noise and poor high-
frequency response, clean the cas-
sette player’s tape handling parts af-
ter every 20 hours of use. Your local
RadioShack store sells a complete
line of cassette deck cleaning sup-
plies.

2. Remove the batteries and dis-
connect any other power source.

THE FCC WANTS YOU
TO KNOW
Your CTR-110 might cause TV or ra-
dio interference even when it is oper-
ating properly. To determine whether
your CTR-110 is causing the interfer-
ence, turn off your CTR-110. If the in-
terference goes away, your CTR-110
is causing it. Try to eliminate the in-
terference by:
• Moving your CTR-110 away
from the receiver
• Connecting your CTR-110 to an
outlet that is on a different elec-
trical circuit from the receiver
• Contacting your local Ra-
dioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-
ence, the FCC requires that you stop
using your CTR-110.
