will

be

deteriorated.

In

such

a

case,

demagnetize

the

head

using

a

commercially

availa¬

ble

demagnetizer

(head

eraser).

There

are

precisely

aligned

parts

around

the

heads,

including

the

tape

guides,

When

cleaning,

pay

special

attention

so

as

not

to

ap¬

ply

shock

to

them.

Beware

of

condensation

When

water

vapor

comes

into

contact

with

the

surface

of

cold

materi¬

al,

water

drops

are

produced.

If

condensation

occurs,

correct

operation

may

not

be

possible,

or

the

unit

may

not

function

correctly.

This

is

not

a

malfunction,

however,

and

the

unit

should

be

dried.

ITo

do

this,

turn

the

POWER

switch

ON

and

leave

the

unit

as

it

is

for

several

hours.)

Be

specially

careful

in

the

following

conditions:

•

When

the

unit

is

brought

from

a

cold

place

to

a

warm

place,

and

there

is

a

large

temperature

difference.

•

When

starts

operating.

•

When

the

unit

is

brought

from

an

air-conditioned

place

to

a

place

of

high

temperature

with

high

humidity.

•

When

there

is

a

large

difference

between

the

internal

tempera¬
