SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
14. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids  
are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.  
15. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service  
personnel when:  
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or  
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or  
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or  
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in  
performance; or  
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.  
16. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described  
in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service  
personnel.  
17. Power lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.  
18. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be  
sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage  
surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/  
NFPA 70 provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting  
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,  
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure.

BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO YOUR  
SET, READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
1. Use only the type and size of batteries mentioned in the operating instructions  
booklet (batteries are not included with this set, please buy the proper batteries).  
2. Do not dispose the batteries into a fire. The cells may explode. Check with local  
codes for possible special disposal instructions.  
3. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may  
cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.  
4. Be careful when handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting  
materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may over  
heat and cause burns.  
5. Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batteries may leak  
corrosive electrolyte or explode.  
6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the batteries identified for use with this product by  
heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may cause burns or  
irritation to eyes or skin.  
7. All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged  
batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the batteries.  
8. When inserting batteries into this product, the proper polarity (  
and  
) or  
direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of some or all of the batteries may  
result in battery eletrolyte leakage or explosion.  
9. Remove the batteries from this product if the product will not be used for a long  
period of time (several months or more) since during the period the batteries could  
leak, damaging the product.  
10. Discard weak or dead batteries as soon as possible since they are more likely to  
leak in the product. Batteries should be replaced (depending on the product) when  
the display gets dim or if the Low Battery Indicator shows or if the sound gets  
distorted.  
11. Do not store this product in high temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a  
freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected  
from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at  
room temperature prior to use after cold storage.  
12. If this product does not operate normally, see TROUBLE SHOOTING in this manual.  
If you can’t resolve the problem, or if the product is damaged, refer to the LENOXX  
WARRANTY INFORMATION. Opening or removing covers may expose you to  
dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock  
when the appliance is subsequently used.  
13. If liquid leaks from the batteries, carefully wipe this liquid. Do not allow it to touch  
your skin, and discard the leaking batteries.  
14. Do not mix batteries (OLD and NEW or CARBON and ALKALINE, etc.).  
15. The use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended for this set because their  
voltage and life is lower than standard batteries.  
16. Installation of batteries should be done by an adult only.

or B to prevent accidental recording.  
If you want to reuse the tape for  
recording, cover the broken tab with  
adhesive tape.  
On Placement  
Side A  
Do not leave the set in a location  
near heat source, or in a place subject  
to direct sunlight, excessive dust or  
mechanical shock.  
Do not place the set on an inclined  
or unstable place.  
Tab for side A  
Tab for side B  
Do not place anything within 1 inch of  
the back of the cabinet. The ventilation  
holes must be unobstructed for the  
set to operate properly and prolong  
the life of its components.  
To record on a tape with its tab broken  
off, cover the respective tab hole for side  
A or B with adhesive tape.

subjected to the direct rays of the sun.  
minutes of play time is not recommended  
except for long continuous recording or  
playback.  
Since a strong magnet is used for the  
speakers, keep personal credit cards  
using magnetic coding or spring-  
wound watches away from the set  
to prevent possible damage from the  
magnet.  
To reduce the chances of tape jamming  
or tangling, you should check that there  
are no loose layers of tape visible  
through the cassette center window. If  
any, tighten these loose layers of tape  
using a pencil before inserting the  
cassette into the set.  
On Power Sources  
For battery operation, use 4 size “D”  
batteries. We recommend alkaline  
batteries for longer life.  
When the batteries are not to be used,  
remove them to avoid damage that can  
be caused by battery leakage or  
corrosion.  
The nameplate indicating operating  
voltage, power consumption, etc. is  
located at the back of the set.

MAINTENANCE  
Cleaning the Tape Heads  
Wipe the heads, the pinch roller and the capstan with a cleaning swab slightly moistened  
with cleaning fluid or alcohol after every 10 hours of operation for optimum playback  
and recording quality.  
After cleaning, insert a tape when the areas cleaned are completely dry.

Notes for Storing Cassette Tapes  
1. Do not put a tape near a magnetic field, such as a TV, or speaker. Magnetic  
fields may reduce the tape sensitivity or even erase the recording.  
2. Do not store tape for any length of time in a hot, moist or dusty place.  
Cleaning the Cabinet  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild  
detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent,  
such as alcohol or benzene.
