2001M (For Use With Recorded Magnetic
Media)
Description/Characteristics
The 3M On-counter Desensitizer Model 2001M is
designed to desensitize 3Mt Tattle-Tapet Security
Strips. This includes security strips which have been
surface-applied t o records, boxed audio cassettes,
video cassettes, compact disks and boxed computer
software.
This device is not intended to desensitize security
strips which have been applied directly to unboxed

be damaged. However, security strips may be applied
to boxed computer software.
Security strips on protected items must be properly
desensitized so the items can be carried through the
library security system without causing an alarm.
