TAPE CARE

Do not expose yourcassettes to direct sunlightor

store them in hot places. Hightemperaturesmay
warp the cassetteshellor damage the tape itself.

Keep your cassettes intheirboxeswhen they are
not inthe cassette player/recorder. This keeps
dustfrom entering the cassette shells.

Yourtape can be erased by magnetic fields pro-

duced by permanent magnets, electric motors,

electric transformers, and other devices. Keep

tapes away from magnetsand magneticfields.

Wind the tape to one end before removingitfrom

yourcessette player/recorder.When it isfully wound,

only the tape leader will be visible, not the tape

itself. Avoid touching either tape or leader. Even
the naturaloilson your hands can damage a tape.
If oils become deposited on the tape transport
mechanismof your cassette player/reoorder,they
could contaminate othertapes.

If a tape isaccidentally pulledfrom a cassette,
insertthe tapered end of a large pencil or similar
object into the center of thetape hub and gently
windthe tape back into the cassette. Be careful
not to twist or wrinklethe tape. Care shouldbe
takenthat allexcesstape iswoundintothe cassette

and istaut. Ifslack isallowedto exist, it can cause
thetape to become twistedaround thepinch roller
and capstan which couldresult in a damaged

cassette.
