This precaution prevents the tape from becoming entangled around the capstan or pinch roller. A 2 Storage Precautions • Do not store cassette tapes in a place where they will be subject to: • Extremely high temperature or excessive moisture • Excessive dust • Direct sunlight • Magnetic fields (near TV sets or speakers) • To eliminate tape slack, store your cassettes in cassette cases with hub stops 2 Accidental Erasure Prevention • All cassettes have erasure prevention tabs for each side. To protect valuable recordings from accidental or inadvertent erasure, remove the tab for the appropriate side with a screwdriver or another tool. • To record on a tape whose erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the tab holes with adhesive tape.
