Keep diskettes away from dust and dirt. Small particles of dust or dirt can scratch the magnetic surface and destroy data. Dust can also ruin the read/write heads in a diskette drive. Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields. (Remember, diskettes store data magnetically; strong magnetic fields can scramble that data.) Do not set your diskettes on such common magnetic sources as electrical appliances, telephones, television sets, and loudspeakers. Do not place your diskettes near your hard disk drive or the AC adapter. Keep diskettes in a moderate environment. They work best at room temperature and in normal humidity. Never leave diskettes sitting in the sun or in extreme cold or heat. The temperature in a car in the middle of summer or winter can cause severe damage. Do not expose a diskette's magnetic surface by sliding the metal shutter. Never touch a diskette's magnetic surface. The oil on your fingertips can damage the diskette and also the drive. Do not place anything on top of your diskettes, and make sure they do not get bent. Never wipe, brush, or try to clean diskettes in any way. Store diskettes properly in diskette containers. If you use an external, 5 '/+inch diskette drive, be especially careful with your 5 '/+inch diskettes. Because they are more flexible, and because they do not have a metal shutter protecting their magnetic surfaces, they are more easily damaged than 3 '/z-inch diskettes. Always keep 5 '/d-inch diskettes in their protective envelopes when you are not using them. Using the Equity LT-386SX 2-21

Keep diskettes away from dust and dirt. Small particles of
dust or dirt can scratch the magnetic surface and destroy
data. Dust can also ruin the read/write heads in a diskette
drive.
Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields. (Remember,
diskettes store data magnetically; strong magnetic fields can
scramble that data.) Do not set your diskettes on such
common magnetic sources as electrical appliances,
telephones, television sets, and loudspeakers. Do not place
your diskettes near your hard disk drive or the AC adapter.
Keep diskettes in a moderate environment. They work best
at room temperature and in normal humidity. Never leave
diskettes sitting in the sun or in extreme cold or heat. The
temperature in a car in the middle of summer or winter can
cause severe damage.
Do not expose a diskette’s magnetic surface by sliding the
metal shutter. Never touch a diskette’s magnetic surface.
The oil on your fingertips can damage the diskette and also
the drive.
Do not place anything on top of your diskettes, and make
sure they do not get bent.
Never wipe, brush, or try to clean diskettes in any way.
Store diskettes properly in diskette containers.
If you use an external, 5
‘/+inch
diskette drive, be especially
careful with your 5
‘/+inch
diskettes. Because they are more
flexible, and because they do not have a metal shutter
protecting their magnetic surfaces, they are more easily
damaged than 3
‘/z-inch
diskettes. Always keep 5
‘/d-inch
diskettes in their protective envelopes when you are not using
them.
