Care and Maintenance
Your Optimus SCT-56 High-Speed Dubbing Stereo Cassette Deck is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship. These suggestions will
help you care for the cassette deck so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the cassette deck dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liq-
uids can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Handle the cassette deck gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage
the circuit boards and case and can cause the cassette deck to work
improperly.
Use and store the cassette deck only in normal temperature environ-
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices
and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the cassette deck away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-
mature wear of parts.
Wipe the cassette deck with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the cassette deck.
Modifying or tampering with the cassette deck’s internal parts can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate your cassette deck’s warranty
and void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your cassette deck is
not operating as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for
assistance.
Cleaning the Tape-Handling
Parts
Clean the tape-handling parts after about every 20 hours of use. Use a
cotton swab dipped in tape head cleaning solution or denatured alcohol
to gently clean the parts shown in the illustration.
