Page 26 highlights

Operating in harsh environments Do not use as an archival tape any tape that has been used outside of the operating ranges specified in Appendix B, "Product specifications", on page B-1 for an extended period of time. The magnetic and physical strength of the tape will have deteriorated as a result of its exposure to the environment. Do not store important data on such a tape; transfer the data to a newer tape for reliable archiving. Attention: Do not operate the tape drive in a poor air-quality environment. If your environment contains an excessive amount of particulates, contact your service representative for more information. A-4 VXA-2 Internal Tape Drive: User's Guide
