Stereo Cassette Player  (140-0864)     Operation       Faxback Doc. # 9900

INSTALLING BATTERIES

The cassette player is powered by two AA batteries (not supplied).  For
the longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries such as Radio Shack Cat.
No. 23-552.

1.  Slide down the battery compartment cover and lift it open.

2.  Install two AA batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols
    (+ and-) marked inside the battery compartment.

Cautions:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  Always
           remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that can
           destroy electronic circuits.

           Do not mix alkaline and non-alkaline batteries.  This could
           damage the cassette player.

3.  Close the cover and be sure it snaps shut.

Notes:  When the tape speed, slows or the volume weakens, replace the
        batteries.

        If the cassette player will not be used for several days, remove
        the batteries.

ATTACHING THE REMOVABLE STRAP

Caution:  Do not attach the strap if very young children will be using the
          cassette player.  The strap could become tangled around a small
          neck.

Follow these steps to attach the strap.

1.  Push up the strap buckles about two inches from the strap ends.

2.  Pull the straps ends through the slots.

3.  Pull up on the strap ends and insert them into the back of the strap
    buckles.

4.  Pull the strap ends through the top of the buckles far enough to keep
    the strap from slipping.

To shorten the strap for hand carrying, slide the two buckles together.
To lengthen the strap for shoulder carrying, slide the two buckles apart.

PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

1.  Using your finger or a pencil, turn the cassette's hub to remove any
    tape slack.  Avoid touching the tape with your fingers.

2.  Open the cassette door by pulling it away from the notch on top of the
    player.

3.  Put the cassette tape into the compartment with the exposed tape edge
    at the top and the side you want to play facing the compartment
    window.

4.  Close the cassette compartment door.

5.  Turn VOLUME to its lowest setting.

6.  Plug the headphones into the PHONES jack.  Then place them over your
    ears.

        To rewind the tape, turn over the tape and press the white button
        next to <<.  Then turn the tape back over.

    tone.

9.  When the tape reaches the end, it automatically stops.  Press the red

    the tape sooner.

Listening Safety

Follow these guidelines to protect your hearing when you use headphones.

    Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. 
    After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

    Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
    listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

    Once you set the volume, do not increase it,  Over time, your ears
    adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause
    discomfort might still damage your hearing.

TRAFFIC SAFETY

Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.

USING THE BELT CLIP

For hands-free carrying, slide the belt clip over your belt.
