Erase Protection Tabs
Most cassette tapes have two erase-protection tabs-one for each side of
the tape. When a tab is in place, you can record on that tape side. When
the tab is not in place, you cannot record on that side.

tape over the slots.
Cautions: When you cover the holes, cover only the position that the
plastic tab originally protected.
