In order to keep your cassette tape player
performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS27750(MBC )08/95]
q
Using a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge to
clean the tape player head after 10-12 hours
of play will help maintain the best playback
sound and proper tape operation.
*
[AS27800(MBC )08/95]

Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or
less should be used. Tapes longer than 90
minutes are thinner and subject to breakage
or may jam the tape player mechanism.
*
[AS27900(MBC )08/95]
q
Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme
conditions, allow them to reach a moderate
temperature before playing.
*
[AS28001(MBC )08/95]
q
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a
pencil into one of the holes and turning the
hub until the tape is tight.
*
[AS28101(MBC )08/95]
q
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.
*
[AS28200(MBC )08/95]
q
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape
player when not in use. High heat in the
vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.
