RESTORING TAPE TENSION AND SOUND QUALITY After you play a microcassette tape several times, the tape might become tightly wound on the reels. This can cause playback sound quality to deteriorate. To restore the sound quality, fast-forward the tape from the beginning to the end of one side, then completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape reels by gently tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat surface. Caution: Be careful not to damage the micro- cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or allow any sharp objects near the cassette. 22 14-1168.fm Page 23 Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:05 PM ERASING TAPES To record over a microcassette tape, simply record as usual.

This prevents RECORD from being pressed. Side A Tab If you later decide to record on a tape side after you have removed the erase-protection tab, place a piece of strong plastic tape over that side’s erase-protection hole. Be sure you cover only the hole originally covered by the erase-protection tab. Caution: Removing the erase-protection tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from erasing a microcassette tape. 24 14-1168.fm Page 25 Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:05 PM CARE To enjoy your Your Optimus Micro-40 Micro Cassette Recorder for a long time: • Keep the recorder dry.
