Your Optimus System 734 Mini Stereo Component System is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help
you care for the System 734 so you can enjoy it for years.

    Keep the System 734 dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    Liquids contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits

    the circuit boards and can cause the System 734 to work improperly.

    Use and store the System 734 only in normal temperature environments.
    Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
    batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

    Keep the System 734 away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
    wear of parts.

    Wipe the System 734 with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
    new.  Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
    detergents to clean the System 734.

Modifying or tampering with the System 734's internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate your System 734's warranty.  If your
System 734 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 procedure
for each deck after every 20 hours of tape player operation.

1.  Disconnect power.

2.  Open the cassette compartment door on each deck.

3.  Press PLAY on each deck to expose the tape-handling parts.

4.  Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning
    solution to clean each deck's record or play head pinch roller,
    capstan, and erase head (TAPE 1 only).

5.  When you finish cleaning, press STOP/EJECT and close each deck's
    cassette compartment door.  Then reconnect power

cleaning supplies.
