Caution: Be careful not to damage the
cassette when tapping it. Do not touch
the exposed tape or allow any sharp ob-
jects near the cassette.

Erasing Tapes

To record over a cassette tape, simply
record as usual. The cassette deck
records over the previous recording.
You can quickly erase both sides of a
cassette tape using a RadioShack bulk
tape eraser.
Note: If you use metal or high-bias type
tape, the recorded sound might not be
erased properly.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-
protection tabs — one for each side.
ˆ Care and Maintenance
Your RadioShack Portable Cassette Recorder is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your recorder so you
can enjoy it for years.
Keep the recorder dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the recorder only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-
age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the recorder away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.

When a tab is in place, you can record
on that side.
To prevent accidental erasure of a tape
recording, use a screwdriver to remove
one or both of the cassette tape's erase-
protection tabs. This prevents
from being pressed.
If you later decide to record on a tape
side after you have removed the erase-
protection tab, place a piece of strong
plastic tape over that side's erase-
protection hole. Be sure you cover only
the hole originally covered by the erase-
protection tab.
Caution: Removing the erase-protection
tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from
erasing a cassette tape.
