Power Cycling
If the tape is playing when the ignition voltage is removed, upon voltage return, the unit resumes playing from the position reached prior to the ignition shut off. The radio display shows the direction of play. If the battery and ignition voltages are removed from the unit, upon reapplication of power, the following action occurs:
| • | The radio is in the OFF mode and indicates the time of day. |
| • | The tape icon is lit. |
When the radio is turned on, the following actions occur:

| • | The tape begins playing where it stopped. |
Tape Load
The cassette player incorporates a power end load cassette mechanism with an illuminated slot opening. Partially insert the tape through the door in the front of the trim plate. The mechanism completes the loading cycle automatically.
After loading, the cassette player automatically senses the tape cartridge for either a metal tape or for CR02 usage. The player makes the appropriate adjustments and the cassette is ready to play.
