1-3 Precautions Video cassette

Erasure prevention tab U model

Timelapse recording is performed over very long periods of time which means that a durable tape is required. When using VHS tapes, do not use tapes with recording times of more than 160 minutes (T- 160/T-180).

•Only use video cassette bearing the mark.

•To prevent accidental erasure of a recorded tape, break the erasure prevention tab on the cassette. To use a cassette with a broken tab, place a piece of cellophane tape over the broken tab.

•Video cassettes cannot be used upside down.

•Leaving the tape in a partially wound condition for a long time may damage the tape. Rewind the tape to the beginning before storage.
