PREAMPLIFIER SETTING
The M96 LT is a moving magnet cartridge. If your Technics Linear Track~ng Turn­table has a preamplifier selector switch, (see Figure 2) be sure to set the switch to the moving magnet position
TRACKING FORCE
The M96 LT is designed to operate at a tracking force of 1.25 grams optimum. Do not use tracking forces heavier than 1.5 grams. Consult the turntable manufac­turer if you have any doubts about whether its tracking force is appropriate.

TELESCOPED SHANK AND HIGH-ENERGY MAGNET
The effective mass of the M96 telescoped shank structure and a new lightweight high-energy magnet (see Figure

With no sacrifice in either electrical output level or required shank stiff­ness, the dynamic mechanical jm­pedance has been significantly reduc­ed. The outcome is flat frequency re­sponse and improved trackability in the critical mid and high frequencies.
TRACKABILITY
Trackability - the ability of the stylus to stay in contact with both groove walls- remains the single overwhelming measure of a cartridge's overall perfor­mance In the trackability chart (Figure recommended theoretical limits of record cutting velocities. The small scattered circles are the "hottest" recorded velocities actually measured on difficult-to­track records. Although a cartridge with moderate trackability will be able to track all the recorded velocities within the theoretical record-cutting limits, substantially higher trackability is obviously needed to track the recorded velocities actually found on today's discs.

STYLUS CLEANING
Use a soft brush w~th an alcohold~st~lled water solu­t~on or Shure Stylus Clean~ng Solut~on (See your dealer and ask for the Shure Brush only from back to front as shown In F~gure Other commerc~al clean~ng solut~ons may cause stylus damage
STYLUS REPLACEMENT STYLUS CLEANING
Place the Technics Linear Tracking arm in a conve­nient position as follows.
1. With the lid closed, use the "manual" mode to move the arm to approximately the center of its travel.
2. Make certain the cartridge is cued "up" (raised off the record), and press the Off-On switch "Off."
3.
Raise the lid.
Replace the stylus as shown in Figure 6 Always hold the stylus only by the plastic grip; take care not to touch or damage the shank or diamond tip

SPECIAL NOTE
As the only source of contact between the record groove and the balance of your high fidelity system, the stylus in your cartridge plays a critical role in the ultimate quality of sound reproduction. Additionally, because records can be irreparably damaged by a worn stylus, it is essential to ensure that your Shure stylus is in peak condition in order to preserve your records in perform at original operating specifications for many years with these simple maintenance steps:
1. Follow the stylus cleaning instructions given above
2. See your Shure dealer at least once a year for a checkup of your cartridge's stylus He'll clean it and inspect it for wear.
