8. WARRANTY  
1. Follow instructions for Recording and Listening to the teacher  
track. Make sure the Teacher Record switch located in the battery  
compartment is in the “Unlock” position.  
Califone warrants this product to be free from defective material  
and workmanship for one year from the purchase date. Our “Project  
Intercept” Customer Satisfaction program will replace defective parts and  
repair malfunctioning equipment under this warranty when the defect  
occurs under normal use.  
5.6 MAINTENANCE  
1. To protect the card reader from dirt and dust, use the included dust  
cover.  
2. After approximately 2,000 passes of the taped cards or if the  
sound quality has deteriorated due to the accumulation of dust, the  
card reader heads should be cleaned. Fold a piece of blank copy  
machine paper so that it is the approximate thickness of a magnetic  
card. Apply isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol until the paper is just wet.  
Run the paper through the card reader as you would a normal  
magnetic card. Repeat several times. Proper maintenance will add  
many hours of quality performance to your equipment.  
CAUTION: DO NOT scrape the head surface with hard, sharp or  
abrasive objects. This will permanently damage the heads.  
All Damage Claims Must Be Made With the Freight Carrier  
Notify the freight carrier immediately if you observe any damage to the  
shipping carton or product. Repack the unit in the carton and await  
inspection by the carrier’s claim agent. Notify your dealer of the pending  
freight claim.

Department online at califone.com/techsupport or via email warranty@
