blade is wider than the other) and

only fits into AC power outlets one

way. If the plug won’t go into the

outlet completely, turn the plug over

and try to insert it the other way. If

it still won’t fit, contact a qualified

electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one.

Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove batteries when

storing the set for more than 30 days. Leaky
batteries can badly damage the system. Always
return tape operation buttons to their off
position before storing. This will relieve pressure
on certain parts in the tape recorder that might
deform after long periods of time. Be sure to
dispose of leaky, weak or dead batteries
properly according to federal, state, and local
regulations. To prevent injury or damage, do
not reverse batteries and do not mix battery
type.
