2. Do not dispose the batteries into a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Be careful when handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may over heat and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries may leak
corrosive electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries identified for use with this product by
heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may cause burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
7. All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged
batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the batteries.
8. When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity (
direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of some or all of the batteries may result in battery electrolyte leakage or explosion.
9. Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for a long
period of time (several months or more) since during the period the batteries could leak, damaging the product.
10. Discard weak or dead batteries as soon as possible since they are more likely to
leak in the product. Batteries should be replaced (depending on the product) when the display gets dim or if the Low Battery Indicator shows or if the sound gets distorted.
11. Do not store this product in high temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a
freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
12. If this product does not operate normally, see TROUBLE SHOOTING in this manual.
If you cant resolve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the LENOXX WARRANTY INFORMATION. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

PRECAUTIONS
On Safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the set, disconnect the power, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. California Proposition 65 Warning:
This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash Hands After Handling.
On Placement
Do not leave the set in a location
near heat source, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
Do not place the set on an inclined
or unstable place.
Do not place anything within 1 inch of
the back of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the set to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.
If the set is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the set will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
Since a strong magnet is used for the
speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring­wound watches away from the set to prevent possible damage from the magnet.
Notes on Cassette
Break off the cassette tab from side A or
B to prevent accidental recording. If you want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.
Side A
Tab for side B
To record on a tape with its tab broken
off, cover the respective tab hole for side A or B with adhesive tape.
Use of a cassette with more than 90
minutes, such as C-120 (120 minutes), is not recommended. The extreme thinness of this tape may damage this set.
To reduce the chances of tape jamming
or tangling, you should check that there are no loose layers of tape visible through the cassette center window. If any, tighten these loose layers of tape using a pencil before inserting the cassette into the set.
Tab for side A
On Power Sources
For battery operation, use 4 size C
batteries. We recommend alkaline batteries for longer life.
When the batteries are not to be used,
remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.
The nameplate indicating operating
voltage, power consumption, etc. is located at the back of the set.

MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Tape Heads
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the capstan with a cleaning swab slightly moistened with cleaning fluid or alcohol after every 10 hours of operation for optimum playback and recording quality.
After cleaning, insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
NOTE: In order to see and
clean the head, you may have to press PLAY first.
Notes for Storing Cassette Tapes
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.
2. Do not store tape for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.
