TAPE CARE
Do not expose your cassettes to direct sunlight or
store them in hot places. High temperatures may
warp the cassette shell or damage the tape itself.
Keep your cassettes in their boxes when they are
not in the cassette player/recorder. This keeps
dust from entering the cassette shells.
Yourtape can be erased by magnetic fields pro-
duced by permanent magnets, electric motors,
electric transformers, and other devices. Keep
tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields.
Wind the tape to one end before removing it from
your cessette player/recorder. When it is fully wound,
only the tape leader will be visible, not the tape
itself. Avoid touching either tape or leader. Even
the natural oils on your hands can damage a tape.
If oils become deposited on the tape transport
mechanism of your cassette player/reoorder,they
could contaminate other tapes.
If a tape is accidentally pulled from a cassette,
insert the tapered end of a large pencil or similar
object into the center of the tape hub and gently
wind the tape back into the cassette. Be careful
not to twist or wrinkle the tape. Care should be
takenthat all excesstape is wound intothe cassette
and is taut. If slack is allowed to exist, it can cause
the tape to become twisted around the pinch roller
and capstan which could result in a damaged
cassette.
