To find the end of the tape inside the cartridge, refer to Figure D-14 and perform the steps
below.
1. Attach the cartridge manual rewind tool (1) to the cartridge's hub (2) by fitting the
tool's teeth between the teeth of the hub. Turn the tool clockwise until you see the end
of the tape inside the cartridge. Then, slowly turn the rewind tool counterclockwise to
bring the tape edge toward the cartridge door (3).
2. Continue to turn the rewind tool counterclockwise until approximately 13 cm (5 in.) of
tape hangs from the cartridge door. If necessary, grasp the tape and pull gently to
unwind it from the cartridge.
3. Remove the rewind tool by pulling it away from the cartridge. Set the tool and the
cartridge aside.
