Cassette Tapes
oFor optimum sound quality and
performance, we recommend you to
replace the OGM and the ICM
cassette tapes every six months and
to re-record the outgoing message
every three months supposing that the
unit answers calls about ten times every
day.
oNever place a cassette lape near a
magnetic source, such as a magnel or a
TV set, because this will alfect the tape
quality.
oShould the lncoming Message cassette
tape break or become worn, replace il
with a high quality "NORMAL" tape.

TDK or MAXELL cassette tape. Metal or
chrome tape cannot be used.

tape from sticking.

endlesstape. lfthe sensing foil does not
.contact the sensing switch, the endless
