CTR-95  (140-0727)          Care and Maintenance       Faxback Doc. # 3381

Your Radio Shack CTR-95 AM/FM Cassette Recorder and Portable Radio is an
example of superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions
will help you care for your CTR-95 so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the CTR-95 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.   Liquids
can contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the CTR-95 only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Handle the CTR-95 gently and carefully.  Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases, and can cause the CTR-95 to work improperly.

Keep the CTR-95 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of
parts.

Wipe the CTR-95 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.  Do
not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
it.

Modifying or tampering with the CTR-95's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your CTR-95 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
cassette player's performance.  To prevent noise and poor high frequency
response, clean the cassette player's tape-handling parts after every
20 hours of use.  Your local Radio Shack store sells cleaning kits.

1.  Set FUNCTION to TAPE/RADIO OFF.

2.  Remove the batteries and disconnect any power source.

3.  Open the cassette compartment cover.

4.  Gently press and hold down the erase-protection tab sensor on the
    lower right side inside the cassette compartment, then press RECORD to
    expose the record/playback and erase heads.

5.  Use a cotton swab dipped in tape head cleaning solution or denatured
    alcohol to gently clean the capstans, pinch rollers, and
    record/playback and erase heads.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as
specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules.  These limits provide reasonable
protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area.
However, your equipment might cause radio or TV interference even when it
is operating properly.  To eliminate interference, you can try one or more
of the following corrective measures:

    Reorient or relocate the radio or TV's receiving antenna.

    Increase the distance between the CTR-95 to an AC outlet that is on a
    different electrical circuit from either the radio or TV's receiver.

    Consult your local Radio Shack store or an experienced radio/TV
    technician if the problem still exists.  If you cannot eliminate the
    interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your CTR-95.
