never be subjected to moisture or extreme
temperatures.

be exposed to water, moisture and dust.

cloth dampened with water only (be sure the
AC power cord is disconnected from the power

tabs is inserted, the recording button cannot be

recorded at a later stage, simply cover the
holes on the cassette where the tabs were
removed, with a piece of strong adhesive tape.
