Video Cassette Tapes

Use only tapes with the mark with this

VIEWCAM.

To protect recordings against erasure When a previously recorded cassette is used again for recording, the previously recorded material is erased. To protect a recording against accidental erasure, slide the tab on the cassette to cover the opening. (A red mark will be exposed.) To record, slide the tab to open the opening.

Notes:

•Do not insert anything into the erasure-protection opening in the cassette.

•Do not put anything into the holes on the bottom of the cassette.

•Do not store or place your video tapes in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in places with excessive moisture or dust.

•Do not keep video tapes near magnetic objects as they may erase the recording.

•Do not drop or subject the tapes to excessive shocks.

•Uneven tape winding will damage the tape. If the tape is not properly wound, reinsert it in the VIEWCAM and rewind the tape.

•Store the cassettes in their cases and stand them upright.
