BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR
SET, READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Use only the type and size of batteries mentioned in the operating instructions
booklet (batteries are not included with this set, please buy the proper batteries).
2. Do not dispose the batteries into a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
4. Be careful when handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting
materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may over
heat and cause burns.
5. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries may leak
corrosive electrolyte or explode.
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries identified for use with this product by
heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may cause burns or
irritation to eyes or skin.
7. All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged
batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the batteries.
8. When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity (
and
) or
direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of some or all of the batteries may
result in battery electrolyte leakage or explosion.
9. Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for a long
period of time (several months or more) since during the period the batteries could
leak, damaging the product.
10. Discard weak or dead batteries as soon as possible since they are more likely to
leak in the product. Batteries should be replaced (depending on the product) when
the display gets dim or if the Low Battery Indicator shows or if the sound gets
distorted.
11. Do not store this product in high temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a
freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected
from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at
room temperature prior to use after cold storage.
12. If this product does not operate normally, see TROUBLE SHOOTING in this manual.
If you can’t resolve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the LENOXX
WARRANTY INFORMATION. Opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock
when the appliance is subsequently used.
13. If liquid leaks from the batteries, carefully wipe this liquid. Do not allow it to touch your
skin, and discard the leaking batteries.
14. Do not mix batteries (OLD and NEW or CARBON and ALKALINE, etc.).
15. The use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended for this set because their
voltage and life is lower than standard batteries.
16. Installation of batteries should be done by an adult only.

are no loose layers of tape visible
through the cassette center window. If
any, tighten these loose layers of tape
using a pencil before inserting the
cassette into the set.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Tape Heads
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the capstan with a cleaning swab slightly moistened
with cleaning fluid or alcohol after every 10 hours of operation for optimum playback
and recording quality.
After cleaning, insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.
NOTE: In order to see and
clean the head, you
may have to press
PLAY first.
Notes for Storing Cassette Tapes
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic
fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.
2. Do not store tape for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
