PRECAUTIONS
• Ensure to remove the cassette tape from the
cassette compartment of the unit when you are
not using the unit.
• Do not let cassette tapes come in contact with
direct sunlight, dirt or dust. Do not touch the
tape inside a cassette as doing so may
contaminate the tape surface.
• Do not leave cassette tapes near electric motors
or magnets. Store them separately to avoid
unwanted noise or loss of tone quality.
• Use a cleaning cassette to clean the playback
head and capstans approximately once a month.
If the playback head is dirty, the high tone sound
may not be reproduced properly.
•Keep screwdrivers etc. or other metallic or
magnetic objects away from the playback head.
• When your car is parked under direct sunlight in
summer, there may be a considerable rise in
temperature inside the car. Ensure to let the
ambient temperature cool down before playing
a cassette tape.
• This unit is designed to be operated on a 12 volt
DC negative ground electrical system only.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use the fuse
whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a
fuse with higher amperage may cause serious
damage to the unit.
CAUTION
•There is a transit protection pad in the cassette
compartment.
Be sure to remove the pad and push the eject
button before operating the unit.
SECURITY LAMP
The LED lamp on the front side of unit is visible
when the control panel is detached. This lamp
continues to flash to deter theft while the car’s
ignition key is turned off with the control panel
detached. However, this unit is not equipped with
the security alarm system that sounds an audible
alarm, therefore there are limitations to this anti
theft device.
