Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player and Tapes
*
[AS29655(ALL)08/95]
In order to keep your cassette tape player performing the way it
was meant to, read and follow these simple precautions:
*
[AS29660(ALL)08/95]
n
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.
*
[AS29665(ALL)08/95]
n
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.
*
[AS29670(ALL)08/95]
n
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.
*
[AS29675(ALL)08/95]
n
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.
*
[AS29680(ALL)08/95]
n
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become lodged in the
mechanism. Remove any loose label material before inserting
cassette.
*
[AS29685(ALL)08/95]
n
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape player. High heat in
the vehicle can cause the cassette to warp.
