Attaching and Removing the Dust Cover Attaching the Dust Cover Align the dust cover’s hinge clips (one on each side) with the pins of the drive bezel. • The dust cover should be positioned so that the magnets on the cover’s back face the drive bezel. This magnet does not affect the tape of the cartridge. - Page 25 Press down at an angle on each side in turn until you hear the hinge clips click into place. Caution Do not press the dust cover in horizontally from the front. Doing so could cause the dust cover to break. Close the dust cover.
