PREPARATION

CONNECTING ANTENNAS

Built-in Antenna

The built-in telescoping a ntenna usually
provides good reception of FM, VHF,
and UHF broadcast signals.

Extend the antenna vertically to its full
length for channels 2 to 6 (VHF-LOW)
and 14 to 69 (UHF).

Extend the antenna to a shorter length
for the best reception of channels 7 to
13 (VHF-HIGH).

Outdoor Antenna

For improved reception, you can con­nect an optional outdoor VHF/UHF an­tenna to the
the TV/radio/cassette using these guide­lines.

No. 278-257, not supplied).

Note to CATV S

reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer’s attention to Section
820-40 of the NEC, which provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones whil e operating
a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This
can create a traffic hazard and could be
illegal in so me a re as .

Even though some earphones let you
hear some outside sounds when listen­ing at normal volume levels, they still
can present a traffic hazard.

• Do not listen at extremely high vol-

ume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not

increase it. Over time, your ears
adapt to the volume level, so a vol­ume level that does not cause dis­comfort might still damage your
hearing.

TV RECEPTION TIPS

If the image is blurry, unstable, or
snowy, the signal reception might be
weak. This can be c aused by your loca­tion or the telescoping antenna’s posi­tion and length. Buildings with steel
construction can also cause reception
problems. Try changing the antenna’s
position and length. If this does not help,
use an outdoor antenna.

If the image does not fill the screen
when you are using battery power, the
batteries are weak. Replace the batter­ies.

TAPE CARE TIPS

Erasing a Cassette Tape

To erase a previously recorded section
of a tape, simply record over it. To erase
the entire cassette tape, let the tape
record to the end without the radio, TV,
or another source playing.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-protec­tion tabs — one for each side. To protect
a recording from being accidentally re­corded over or erased, use a screwdriv­er to carefully break off one or both of
the cassette tape’s erase-protection
tabs.

illus of cassette with erase­protection tabs labeled

If you want to record on a tape side after
you have removed the erase-prot ection
tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape
over that side’s tab hole.

Notes:

illus of cassette with erase­protection tab removed and
piece of tape being
applied

You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser,
available at your local RadioShack
store.

• Be sure you cover only the hole
originally covered by the erase-pro­tection tab.

• Removing the erase-protection tabs
does not prevent a bu lk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.

Restoring Tape Tension and
Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape several
times, the tape might become tightly
wound on the reels. This can cause
playback sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-for­ward the tape from the be ginning to the
end of one side, then completely rewi nd
it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently
tapping each side of the cassette’s outer
shell on a flat surface.

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 cassette player’s
tape handling parts after every 20 hours
of use. Your local RadioShack store
sells a complete line of cassette clean­ing supplies. You can use a cassette
tape cleaning kit (such as Cat. No. 44-
