Check the opening indicated in Figure D-2 and ensure that the small plastic tab is partially visible. This is the second reel lock. The reel locks can break if the cartridge is dropped. This may be the cause of any rattling sound you hear when you gently shake the tape cartridge. If this reel lock tab is not visible do not use the cartridge.

Also located on the bottom of the tape cartridge is the spring-loaded hub. Verify that the hub is centered within the circular opening in the tape cartridge. Gently press the hub and make sure that it springs back into place. Make sure that it ends up centered within its circular opening.
