Use the following general precautions when handling tape cartridges: I Do not carry cartridges loosely in a container that exposes them to unnecessary physical shock. Dropping or bumping cartridges may dislodge and damage internal components. I Store each cartridge vertically in its protective case until needed. Choose a clean environment that duplicates the conditions of the room in which it is used. I Make sure that the cartridge has been in its operating environment for at least 24 hours before use. I Do not allow direct contact with the tape medium or open the tape door unnecessarily. Dust or skin oils can contaminate the tape and impact performance. I Do not place cartridges on or near devices that may produce strong magnetic fields. Such exposure may alter or erase data on the tape. I Do not expose the cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight. I Apply labels only in the designated areas of the tape cartridge and do not apply more than one label at a time. Appendix A Appendix A General Usage 145
