Maintenance
Cassette tape
—For optimum sound quality and performance, we recommend that
you use the opposite side (slde-2) after six months and replace
the tape with a new one every year, 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 it may erase or distort the recorded
message on the tape.
—Slack in the tape can
be tightened by
rotating the tape reel
with an instrument like
a pencil, as shown.
Tape deck
Since the head and capstan assemblies are in contact with the tape,
dirt and residue from the tape may easily adhere to these parts,
causing distortion. These parts should be cleaned periodically in the
manner described below.
Clean the head surfaces, pinch roller and capstan with a cotton swab.
If these surfaces are extremely dirty, wipe them with the cotton swab
dampened with alcohol, then wipe them with a dry soft cloth.
