Floppy disks

1. Store your floppy disks in the container they came in to protect them
and keep them clean. If a floppy disk is dirty, do not use cleaning fluid.
Clean it with a soft damp cloth.
2. Do not slide back the floppy disk’s protective metal covering or touch
the floppy disk’s magnetic surface. Fingerprints may prevent the floppy
disk drive from reading data from the floppy disk.
3. Data may be lost if the floppy disk is twisted; bent; or exposed to direct
sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
4. Do not place heavy objects on your floppy disks.
5. Do not eat, smoke, or use erasers near your floppy disks. Foreign
particles inside the floppy disk’s jacket can damage the magnetic
surface.
6. Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your floppy disks. Keep your
floppy disks away from speakers, radios, television sets and other
sources of magnetic fields.
