• | Cassette tapes can be erased by magnetic fields produced by magnets, electric motors, electrical transform- |
| ers, and other devices. Keep tapes away from magnets and magnetic fields. |
CLEANING THE TAPE HEADS

When you record new material, the cassette deck records over what- ever is on a tape. To protect a tape from accidental erasure, break off one or both plastic tabs (one for each tape side) on the top of the cassette tape. If you decide later to record on the tape, seal the hole with a piece of cellophane tape.
WARNING
A little bit of slack in your tape can cause scratches on the tape, or worse yet, the tape could break. If you notice some slack in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it up before you insert it in the tape deck.
