Tips on Caring for the Cassette Player
and Tapes
In order to keep your cassette tape player
performing the way it was meant to, read and
follow these simple precautions:
❑
Using a Ford Cassette Cleaning Cartridge or
equivalent to clean the tape player head after
10-12 hours of play will help maintain the best
playback sound and proper tape operation.
❑
Only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less
should be used. Tapes longer than 90 minutes
are thinner and subject to breakage or may jam
the tape player mechanism.
❑
Protect cassettes from exposure to direct
sunlight, high humidity and extreme heat or
cold. If they are exposed to extreme conditions,
allow them to reach a moderate temperature
before playing.
❑
If a tape is loose inside the cassette, tighten it
before playing by putting your finger or a pencil
into one of the holes and turning the hub until
the tape is tight.
❑
Loose labels on cassette tapes can become
lodged in the mechanism. Remove any loose
label material before inserting a cassette.
❑
Do not leave a tape in the cassette tape player
when not in use. High heat in the vehicle can
cause the cassette to warp.
