TROUBLE SHOOTING

For System

The following suggestions help you care for the product so that you can enjoy it for
years.

1. Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might

contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

2. Keep the product away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

3. Handle the product gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and

cases, and can cause the product to work improperly.

4. Wipe the product with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not

use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the product.

5. Use and store the product only in normal temperature environments. High

temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort
or melt plastic parts.

For Tape Player

Periodic cleaning of the tape head and capstan shaft will ensure good reproduction of
music and trouble-free operation. Cleaning of the tape head should be done every 20
to 30 hours of operation or when the high tones have become less clear.

1. Use a cassette-cleaning cartridge if available. If one is not available, use a cotton
swab soaked in isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

2. While holding the tape door open, locate tape head to the right of the opening and in
the centre of the unit.
3 Clean the tape head with the cotton swab.

4. Clean the capstans and the pinch rollers with the cotton swab.

5. Allow the tape head, capstans and pinch rollers to dry before operating.

6. Do not touch the tape with your fingers, if it becomes lose, wind it back by twisting a
six-sided pencil in the cassette reel.

13

CAUTION

1. This unit is designed to operate on 12-volts DC, negative ground electrical system

only. Do not attempt to install this unit in a vehicle having a positive ground system.

2. You should not touch the high-polished playback head with any metallic or magnetic
tools.

3. Your unit has built-in filtering to eliminate most of the noise that might come through
the power source. However with some vehicles, particularly older models, some
clicking or other unwanted noise might be present.

IGNITION AND INTERFERENCE NOISE

Ignition

The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is normally
due to the face that radio is placed relatively close to the ignition system (engine). This
type of noise can be easily detected because it will vary in intensity of pitch with the
speed of the engine.

Usually the ignition noise can be suppressed considerably by using a radio suppression
type high voltage ignition wire and suppressor resistor in the ignition system. (most
vehicles employ this wire and resistor but it may be necessary to check them for correct
operation.) Another method of suppression is the use of additional noise suppressors.
There can be obtained from most CB/ Amateur radio or electronic supply shops.

Interference

Radio reception in a moving environment (automobile ) is very different from reception
in a stationary (home). It is very important to understand the difference.

AM reception will deteriorate when passing through a tunnel or when passing under
high voltage lines. Also, noise can be picked up from passing automobiles. Although
AM is subject to environmental noise, it has the ability to be received at great distance.
This is due to the fact that broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and
are reflected back by the upper atmosphere .

FM reception is just the opposite of AM, It is not subject to environmental noise and it
does not have the ability to be received at great distances (usually 30 miles). Also, the
FM signal can be blocked by tall buildings, mountains, or hills.

To reduce the possibility of these problems, ALWAYS FINE TUNE a station, and if
possible, set the antenna height to 30 inches.
