Cleaning Procedure
Use the J 39916-A
in order to clean the tape player. Refer
to the directions in the J 39916-A
.
This is a wet-type cleaning system. This system uses a cleaning cassette
with pads which scrub the tape head while the hubs of the cleaner cassette
turns.
The radio may display an error and eject the cartridge when you are
using the J 39916-A
.
Insert the cleaning cassette at least three times in order to thoroughly
clean the tape player.
A non-scrubbing action, wet-type cleaner with a fabric belt may also
be used. This cleaner will not cause an error. However, the tape player will
not be cleaned as thoroughly.
Hold the EJECT button for five seconds in order to reset the CLN indicator.
The radio will display three dashes when the clean feature has been reset.
