Using the

Right
Protection
Here are
some
tips for making good
recordings:
•
When
you're not
using
the
computer to
SAVE or
LOAD
programs, don't
leave
the
recorder's
RECORD or
PLAY
buttons
down.
Press STOP.
•
You can
avoid many
problems
with tapes by
using
new,
high-quality
computer tapes (26-301)
whenever you
save
a
program
or
data.
•
If you
want to reuse a
prerecorded
tape, erase the
contents
with
a
bufk tape eraser (44-232) to be
sure you
erase
everything. Even
though
the
recording process
erases the
old
recording, enough
information
could
be
left
to
confuse
the new
recording.
•
If you
want to save
a
taped
program
permanently,
break
off
the
Erase Protect
tab
on
the
cassette (see
your
tape
recorder
manual).
Without
the
tab, you
can't press
the RECORD
button on your
recorder. This
keeps
you
from accidentally
erasing
that tape.
Error Conditioning
Several
possible
error messages can appear in
the upper-left
portion
of
the
display screen
when a mistake
is made
during
a loading
operation.
For explanations of
the
error messages,
refer
to
the
appendix
entitled "BASIC
Error
Messages" in
the BASIC
programming
manual that
you received
with your
Color Computer.
Note:
If you
try
to
load a blank tape, your
Color
Computer
3
searches
for
the
program until the
tape
ends without
giving
any indication that the
tape
is
blank. Press
RESET
to
stop
the loading
process.
