Taking Care of Cartridges Use Precautions • Avoid heavy vibration and dropping. • The shutter on the face of the cartridge is opened automatically when it is inserted into the drive. Do not open the shutter by hand, as touching the tape may damage it. • The cartridge was carefully aligned during assembly at the factory. Please do not try to open it or take it apart. • The write-protect switch on the face of the cartridge prevents the tape from being written to or accidentally erased. If you do not need to write to the tape, move this switch to the write-protect position (in the direction of the arrow).
