■If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Label the package “FRAGILE.”

ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to drive media:

■Do not open the metal shutter of a diskette or touch the disk within the diskette case.

■Do not expose a diskette to a strong magnetic field, such as the security field used by a walk-through security device or a handheld security wand.
