Condition

Some owners may comment that "CLN" appears on radio display and does not turn off after tape heads have been cleaned.

Cause

The "CLN" display is a reminder for the customer that the tape heads need to be cleaned. This reminder will appear after 50 hours of tape usage. The "CLN" indicator will not automatically turn off after the tape heads have been cleaned.

Correction

Integral Cassette Radios

The customer must reset the "CLN" indicator manually. To reset after proper cleaning of the tape heads push the EJECT button and hold for 5 seconds until the display clears. The "CLN" reminder will be reset and start timing the hours of tape usage. The radio display will resume its normal operating functions.

Remote Cassette Unit

The customer must reset the "CLN" indicator manually. To reset after proper cleaning of the tape heads push the EJECT button on the remote and the RECALL button on the radio and hold for 5 seconds until the display clears. The "CLN" reminder will be reset and start timing the hours of tape usage. The radio display will resume its normal operating functions.

Radio and playback functions are discussed in Section 9A of the Service Manuals.
