TO PRESERVE STYLUS LIFE
1. Protect stylus with stylus guard when dusting turntable.
2. Regulate tonearm set-down to prevent stylus from striking edge of turntable or record.
3. Do not handle tonearm while record is being played. Use cueing device if possible.
4. If manual set-down is necessary, release arm as soon as stylus engages groove.
5. Do not activate arm without record on turntable.
6. Do not use damaged records.
7. Make certain cartridge is correctly mounted in tonearm and stylus is properly inserted in cartridge.
8. Follow turntable or tonearm instructions for antiskating force.
USE ONLY SHURE REPLACEMENT STYLI
A Shure replacement stylus will restore your Shure cartridge to its originally specified performance level.
We strongly advise against the use of non-Shure styli with our cartridges. Such imitations will not per-
form as well as a stylus designed specifically for your Shure cartridge. Such imitations may also cause
permanent damage to your records –– severe mistracking can ruin a record in a single play.
