Battery
O The battery life is shortened in places which are very hot or cold.
O Storing the battery in a location with oily vapors or high dust concentrations may corrode the terminals, cause other damage and lead to malfunctioning.
O Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and hairpins) away from the battery.
O The battery should be discharged for storage. When storing it for an extended time, we recommended that at least once a year you charge it, use up its charge by operating the
Cassette tapes
O Always rewind your tapes to the start before storing them. If a cassette that has been stopped part the way through is left standing for six months or more (this timeframe differs depending on the storage conditions), the tape will become slack.
O Always put tapes back into their original cases before storing them as factors such as dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and humidity may damage the tapes. Dust contains particles of hard minerals which may damage the
O Fast forward and rewind your tapes once every six months. If tapes are kept wound up for more than a year, the expansion and contraction caused by changes in the temperature and humidity may distort the tapes. Also, parts of the tape may get stuck together.
O Do not place cassettes near equipment or anything else with strong magnetic fields.
O The top surface of tapes is coated with microscopically small magnetic particles where the signals are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys and other products may have a stronger magnetic field than you might suspect: they may be strong enough to erase recordings and generate noise on the screen and in the sound.
