To Prevent Accidental Erasure

Slide the tab on the cassette to expose the red mark. If you insert the cassette with the red mark exposed and close the cassette compartment, the beeps sound for a while. If you try to record with the red mark exposed, the ÿ and 6indicators flash in the viewfinder, and you cannot record. To re-record on this tape, slide the tab back out covering the red mark.
