							Maintenance 
Because the head and capstan assemblies are in contact with the tape, dirt and 
residue from the tape can easily adhere to these parts, causing distortion. These parts 
should be cleaned periodically in the manner described below. 
l Clean the head surface, pinch roller and capstan with a cotton swab. 
If these surfaces are extremely dirty, dampen the cotton swab with alcohol. 
Capstan Cotton swab 
l Do not bring magnetic or metal objects, such as a screwdriver, near the head 
assemblies, as such objects could magnetize the heads. 
l Do not oil any part of the unit. 
Cassette Tape 
oFor optimum sound quality and performance, 
we recommend that you use side two after six 
months and replace the tape every year 
assuming that the unit answers about ten calls 
a day. 
l Should the cassette tape break or become 
worn, replace it with a high quality “NORMAL” 
tape. Use Panasonic (C30, C60, C90), TDK or 
MAXELL cassette tape. Metal or chrome tape 
cannot be used. 
oNever place a cassette tape near a magnetic 
source, such as a magnet or a TV set, because 
it may erase the tape. 
l Slack in the tape can be tightened by rotating 
the tape reel with a pencil, as shown.

							Important Information 
If requested by the Telephone Company, inform them as follows: 
l FCC Registration No. . (found on the bottom of the unit) 
l Ringer Equivalence . . . 0.4 B 
@The particular telephone line to which the equipment is connected. 
In the event terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone 
company should notify the customer, if possible, that service may be stopped. 
However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service 
providing that they: 
(a) Promptly notify the customer. 
(b) Give the customer an opportunity to correct the problem with their equipment. 
(c) Inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication 
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in F.C.C. Rules and Regulations 
Subpart E of Part 68. 
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, 
equipment, operations or procedures, where such action is reasonably required in the 
operation or its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in F.C.C. 
Part 68. 
If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal 
equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require 
modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its 
use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow 
the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service. 
“This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
computing device in accordance with the specifications set forth in Subpart J of Part 1.5 
of the F.C.C. Rules. 
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception which can be 
determined by turning the equipment on and off, use the equipment in another location 
and/or utilize an electrical outlet different from that use by the receiver.” 
Ringer Equivalence No. @EN): 
The REN is useful in determining the quantity of devices you may connect to your 
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone line and still 
have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not 
all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should not exceed 
five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as 
determined by the REN, you should contact your local telephone company to 
determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO 
RAIN OR ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE.
