<Note>
Check that there is no slack in the tape of the cassette.
Checking for tape slack
Gently push in the reel using your finger and turn the reel in the direction of the arrow. If the reel fails to turn, it means there is no tape slack.
Ejecting the cassette tape
While the power is still on, press the EJECT button to open the cassette holder, and take out the cassette tape. If another cassette is not going to be loaded immediately after this tape is ejected, close the cassette holder.
Ejecting the cassette when the battery has no charge
First, set the POWER switch to OFF to turn off the unit’s power.
Then turn the power back on, and immediately hold down the EJECT button.
The cassette can be removed when there is still some power left in the battery. However, do not repeat this operation.
To prevent accidental erasure
Set the cassette’s tab to SAVE to prevent the recordings on the tape from being erased accidentally.
