Cassette Tapes
■ v.
•For optimum sound quality and performance,
we recommend that you replace the OGM
i
and the ICM cassette tapes every six
months and re-record the outgoing
message every three months assuming that
the unit answers about ten calls a day.
• Never place a cassette tape near a magnetic
source, such as a magnet or a TV set,
because this will affect tape quality.
Endless Cassette Tape
Cassette Tape (C-60) for
Incoming Messages
•Should the Incoming Message cassette tape
break or become worn, replace it with a high
quality “NORMAL” tape. Use Panasonic
(C-30, C-60, C-90), or other high quality tape.
Metal or chrome tape cannot be used.
•Slack in the tape can be tightened by rotating
the tape reel with a pencil.
•Do not use C-120 tape to prevent the tape
from sticking.
(KX-C030) for Outgoing

•A sensing foil (silver) is attached to the
endless tape. If the sensing foil does not
contact the sensing switch, the endless tape
cannot stop automatically. Replace it with a
new Panasonic endless cassette tape.
(KX-C030).
•Observe carefully that the tape and capstan
are located as shown below, and insert the
endless tape into the machine.
Because the head and capstan assemblies are
in contact with the tape, dirt and residue from
the tape can easily adhere to these parts,
causing distortion. These parts should be
cleaned periodically in the manner described
below:
•Disconnect the telephone cord from the unit
•Clean the head surfaces, sensing switch,
