[. . . ] The battery should be discharged for storage. When storing it for an extended time, we recommended that at least once a year you charge it, use up its charge by operating the camera-recorder, and then store it again. Cassette tapes Always rewind your tapes to the start before storing them. If a cassette that has been stopped part the way through is left standing for six months or more (this timeframe differs depending on the storage conditions), the tape will become slack. [. . . ]
