Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use headphones.
• Do not listen at extremely high
volume levels. Extended highvolume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the
volume to a comfortable level.
• 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.
Notes:
• Your local RadioShack store sells
a wide selection of headphones.
• Connecting headphones automatically disconnects the speakers.

CD CARE TIPS
Even though a compact disc is very
durable, treat the CD surface with
care. We recommend the following
precautions:
• Do not place anything but a CD in
the disc tray. This can damage the
drive mechanism.
• Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label side
-
(signals are read from the non-label side).
13
Page 14
13-129 5.fm Page 14 Wednesday, J uly 14, 1999 7: 10 PM
• Do not store CDs in hightemperature, high-humidity locations. The CDs might warp.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the las er
beam’s focus.
• Always handle a C D by the edges
to avoid fingerprints and always
keep it in its protective case or
sleeve when not in use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD’s
surface can prevent the laser
beam from correctly reading the
digital information. To clean the
CD surface, use a CD cleaner kit
(such as Cat. No. 42-225). If the
CD gets scratched, use Scratch ’n
Fix (RadioShack Cat. No. 42-
127).

1. Take up any slack in the tape by
turning the cassette’s hub with a
pencil. If you do not remove excess slack, the tape might become tangled in the record/

touching the tape.
3. Insert the cassette tape into the

TAPE CARE TIPS
Preventing Accidental
Erasure
Cassette tapes have two eraseprotection tabs — one for each side.
To protect a recording from being ac cidentally recorded over or erased,
use a screwdriver to remove one or
both of the cassette tape’s eraseprotection tabs.
show Side A erase protection tab
being removed with a screwdriver
17
Page 18
13-129 5.fm Page 18 Wednesday, J uly 14, 1999 7: 10 PM
If you want to record on a tape side after you have removed the eraseprotection tab, place a piece of strong
plastic tape over that side’s eraseprotection hole.
show Side A erase protection tab
being covered by tape
Notes:
• Be sure you cover only the hole
originally covered by the eraseprotection tab.
• Removing the erase-protection
tabs does not prevent a bulk
eraser from erasing a cassette
tape.
Resto r ing 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, fastforward the tape from the beginning to
the end of one side, then completely
rewind it. Then loosen the t ape reels
by gently tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface.
Caution: Be careful not to damage
the cassette when tapping it. Do not
touch the exposed tape or allow any
sharp objects near the cassette.
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 with no source
playing.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a bulk tape eraser
(such as Cat. No. 44-232, not supplied), available at your local RadioShack store.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus System 747 Mini Stereo Component S y stem is an example of superior design an d craft smans hi p. The follow ing sugg estio ns will h elp you c are for the
system so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry imm ediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can dam age circuit boards and cases and can cause the system t o work i mproperly.
Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the system.
Modifying or tampering with the system’s internal component s can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your system’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your s ystem is not performing as it should, ta ke it to your lo cal
