high temperatures, magnetic fields, direct sunlight, dirt, dust and locations
subject to mold formation.
Do not tamper with the cassette mechanism.
Never touch the tape with your fingers.
Protect cassette tapes from shocks or strong vibrations.

head screwdriver to break off the erasure-prevention tab on the cassette.
To record again on a tape without erasure-prevention tab, cover the hole

To prevent accidental erasure, remove the tab after
