Accidental Erasure Prevention - Radio Shack TRS-80 Operation Manual

Accidental Erasure Prevention
Cassettes
have
a
built-in
device to automatically
prevent erasure
of
a
previous
recording.
It
is
a small
plastic
tab
at the
back of
the cassette.
To
activate
the erasc-protect feature,
break off the
plastic
tab with
a screwdriver-
There
is
a tab
for
each
side;
be
sure
you
break off
the correct
tab,
(See
Fig-
ure
I-A.)
If
you
decide
you want
to
record
on
that cassette after
you
have
broken
off the
tabs,
put
a
piece
of tape over
the
hole
where you
brake off
each
tab, as
shown
in Figure
1-B.
CAUTION;
If
you
have a
cassette
with
the tabs
broken
off,
don't try to
force the
RECORD
key
down.
You
can
damage
a
part
of
the
mechanism.
