5.
When you are not going to use a CTR-80 for loading or recording
programs, do not leave RECORD or PLAY keys down (press STOP).
6.
REWIND and FAST-FORWARD are not under remote control; simply
press the appropriate key until the tape has moved to the desired
position.
7.
If you want to save a taped program permanently, break off the erase
protect tab on the cassette (see CTR-80 Manual).
8.
Do not expose recorded tapes to magnetic fields. Avoid placing your tapes
near the Power Supply.
9.
To check if a tape has a program recorded on it, you can disconnect the
plug from the EAR jack (also disconnect the REM plug so you can control
the CTR-80 with the keys) and Play the tape; you'll hear the program
material from the speaker.
10.
For the best results when using a Recorder with the Computer, you
should keep the Recorder's heads and tape handling mechanism very
clean. A new Recorder should be cleaned before it is used the first time,
and cleaned again after every four hours' use. In addition, the tape heads
should be demagnetized periodically.
A complete line of recorder accessories (cleaning solution, cotton tipped
swabs, demagnetizer-cassettes, etc.) is available at your local Radio
Shack store.
Special Notes:
1)
Before attempting to load a program from tape into the Computer, be
sure the cassette is rewound to a
blank
portion of the tape preceding the
program. If you try to start the load in the middle of a preceding program,
you probably will get the Computer "hung up" (in which case you'll have
to press Reset and start over). The same rule applies when you're using
the CLOAD? command to compare a taped program with one stored in
the Computer.
2)
For best results when re-using tapes, erase the old program with a bulk
tape eraser (such as Radio Shack Catalog Number 44-210).
WARNING
In dry climates, and especially in winter, static electricity can play havoc
with computer data tapes. Handling a cassette when you are "charged"
with static electricity can put clicks on the tape and make its data
unreadable by the Computer.
Under such conditions, be sure to ground yourself (by touching a metal
surface, etc.) before handling cassettes. You may also remove some of the
causes of static electricity buildup, by using anti-static sprays on rugs,
humidifying the air, etc.
