Care and maintenance
The radio structure ensures long operation with no
need for particular maintenance. In the event of a fault,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
To clean the front panel only use a soft, antistatic
cloth. Cleaning and polishing products might spoil the
surface.
Tapes
To obtain optimum playing conditions we give the
following advice:
❒do not use poor quality tapes, with distortions or
labels detached;
❒never leave the tape in the radio when not in use;
❒never insert other objects in the tape slot;
❒do not leave tapes in direct sunlight or expose them
to excessive heat or moisture;
❒put tapes back in their boxes after use;
❒over time, dirt on the playing head caused by tapes
may reduce the high notes when playing. You are
therefore advised to clean the head routinely using a
special cleaner tape of the non abrasive type;❒preferably use C-60 tapes. Do not use tapes longer
than C-90 to ensure constant, optimal playback.
Moreover, longer tapes are very thin and can easily
break;
❒avoid using cassettes with slack tape, especially C-90
tapes. The tape could come out of the cassette and
block the mechanism. However, if the player
detects slack tape or similar problems, the cassette
will be ejected automatically;
❒do not lubricate the tape mechanism;
❒do not touch the player head with magnetic or hard
objects.
Compact Disc
Remember that dirt, marks or distortion on Compact
Disc can cause skipping. To obtain optimum playing
conditions we give the following advice:
❒Only use Compact Discs which have the following
brand:
