alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or recharge-
able (nickel-cadmium).
• Remove the batteries during long periods of
non-use. Always remove exhausted batteries
from the product. Battery leakage and corro-
sion can damage the product. Dispose of
batteries safely.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
The batteries may explode or leak.
• Never short circuit the battery terminals.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to
be recharged.

adult supervision.
• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed
from the product before they are charged.

plug, enclosure and other parts. Do not use
a damaged battery charger until it has been
properly repaired.
Your Fisher-Price®Tuff Stuff®Tape Recorder may
be used with an AC adapter (not included). If you
will be using this product with an AC adapter,
make sure it has an output rating of 6 volts DC
(Direct Current), 200mA (milli-Amps) minimum.
Output lead must have a 5 mm O.D., 2 mm or
slightly larger I.D. coaxial plug. Use only an AC
adapter approved by a testing agency such as
Underwriters Laboratories. Do not use an exten-
sion cord with the AC adapter. Polarity of the AC
adapter must match Tuff Stuff®Tape Recorder
power jack center terminal, which is positive.
Please refer to the symbol on the back
of the Tuff Stuff®Tape Recorder.

Battery Information

Your Tuff Stuff®Tape Recorder is equipped with a
headphone jack for private listening. Be sure your
stereo headphones are equipped with a 3.5mm pin.
Hint: The speaker does not project sound when a
headphone pin is inserted into the headphone jack.
If tape in the cassette loosens (or appears to be
unraveling), firmly wind it before inserting it into
Tuff Stuff®Tape Recorder.
All cassette tapes include tabs which prevent
them from being accidentally erased. To prevent
Side 1 from being erased, hold the cassette
with the tape opening facing away from you
(Side 1 will be printed on top). Break off the tab
on the right (see illustration). To prevent Side 2
from being erased, break off the tab on the left.

Headphones
(Not Included)

We recommend using only 60 minute cassette
tapes (C-60) for recording or playing, 30 minutes
each side. Cassette tapes longer than 60 minutes
are made with thinner material, which reduces
performance quality and tangles more easily.
Tuff Stuff®Tape Recorder will operate properly with
most commercially available pre-recorded and
blank cassette tapes. We DO NOT recommend
recording on Hi Bias Chromium Dioxide (CrO2)
cassette tapes.
Stop/Eject Button
Press the stop/eject button to open the
cassette door.
Insert a cassette tape into the cassette door
slots, with the tape opening upward and the
desired listening side facing outward.
Press the cassette door closed. If the cassette
door does not close easily, make sure the
cassette tape has been inserted properly.
Hint: To play or record at the beginning of a
cassette tape, rewind it completely.
