Observe the following precautions to ensure data integrity when handling or storing a media cartridge:

1.Do not drop the media cartridge onto hard surfaces.

2.Do not physically abuse the cartridge exterior or access mechanisms.

3.Do not store the media cartridge in the drive.

4.Remove cartridges from the drive when the drive is going to be moved.

5.Apply labels only in designated areas. Refer to the Affixing Label section for instructions on label placement.

6.Avoid exposing the media cartridge to direct sunlight and condensation.

7.Do not expose the media cartridge to temperature extremes.

8.Stabilize the media cartridge to the specified operating temperature range 1 hr before use.

9.Do not open the media access shutter.

10.Do not touch the disk surface through the media access shutter.

11.Do not remove the disk from the cartridge.

12.Use, handle and store the media cartridge in clean office conditions.

13.Do not smoke while handling the media. Smoke is a prime source of disk contamination. All smoking materials should be kept away from areas where the media are in use or storage.

14.Keep external surfaces of the cartridge clean. Dust the cartridge periodically with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
