●Do not touch internal components.

2 Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder.

●Be sure to press only the section labelled “PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder; touching other parts may cause your finger to get caught in the cassette holder, resulting in injury or product damage.

●Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.

●When the battery pack’s charge is low, you may not be able to close the cassette holder cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one or use AC power before continuing.

3 Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it locks into place.

To protect valuable recordings

Slide the erase protection tab on the back of the tape in the direction of “SAVE”. This prevents the tape from being recorded over. To record on this tape, slide the tab back to “REC” before loading it.
