Safeguard against accidental erasure
You can prevent the accidental erasure of valuable recordings as
follows: having made the recording, take a screwdriver and break out
the tab at the back of the cassette near the empty reel. With this side
of
the
cassette
in
the
recorder
at
any
time
thereafter,
the
record
button
cannot
be
depressed.
MusiCassettes
are
in
this
way
safeguarded
against
erasure.
You
can
render
this
safeguard
ineffective
by
covering
the aperture now existing with a piece of adhesive tape.
