TAPE CARE
Do not expose yourcassettes to directsunlightor
store them in hot places. High temperatures may
warp the cassette shellor damage the tape itself.
Keep your cassettes intheirboxes when they are
not inthe cassette player/recorder. This keeps
dustfrom entering the cassette shells.
Yourtape can be erased by magnetic fieldspro-
duced by permanent magnets, electric motors,
electric transformers, and other devices. Keep
tapes away from magnets and 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 handscan 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,
insertthetapered end of a largepencil or similar
object intothe center of thetape hub and gently
windthe tape back into the cassette. Be careful
not to twist or wrinklethe tape. Care shouldbe
takenthatallexcesstape iswoundintothe cassette
