(140-1212)          Care and Maintenance              Faxback Doc. # 17940

The Radio Shack SCP-70 Stereo Mate AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions
will help you care for the SCP-70 so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the SCP-70 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
    can contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.

    Use and store the SCP-70 only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices,
    damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

    Handle the SCP-70 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage the
    circuit boards and case and cause the SCP-70 to work improperly.

    Keep the SCP-70 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    Occasionally wipe the SCP-70 with a damp cloth to keep it looking new.
    Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to
    clean the SCP-70.

Modifying or tampering with the SCP-70's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your SCP-70 is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust or particles of the tape's coating can accumulate on the tape
heads and other parts that the tape touches.  This can greatly reduce the
performance of the cassette player.  Use the following cleaning procedures
after about 20 hours of tape player operation.

1.  Remove the batteries and disconnect any other power source.

2.  Open the cassette compartment door and remove the cassette (if
    necessary).

3.  Press PLAY to expose the tape-handling parts.

4.  Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning
    solution to clean the playback head, pinch roller, and capstan.

5.  When you finish cleaning, press STOP, then close the door.

Your local Radio Shack store sells a complete line of cassette cleaning
supplies.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

The SCP-70 AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating properly.  To determine whether
the SCP-70 is causing the interference, turn off the SCP-70.  If the
interference goes away, the SCP-70 is causing the interference.  Try to
eliminate the interference by:

    Moving the SCP-70 away from the TV or radio.

    Connecting the SCP-70 to an outlet  that is on a different electrical
    circuit than the TV or radio.

    Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help.

    If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you
    stop using the SCP-70.
