On tapes longer than 90 minutes
We do not recommend the use of tapes longer than 90 minutes except for a long continuous recording or playback. They are very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

On headphones/earphones
Road safety
Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headphones/earphones at high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings.
You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Preventing hearing damage
Do not use headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate to the people around you.
To clean the exterior
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened in water. Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner.
Note
•Clean the headphones/earphones plug and microphone plug periodically.
Troubleshooting
The cassette holder does not open.
•If the tape is playing, stop and then slide OPEN.
•This condition may occur when you remove the power sources during playback or recording, or when you use exhausted dry or rechargeable battery. Set the power sources again or replace the exhausted battery with a new one.
The volume is not turned up.
