3-5-2 Notes on Handling

Handling
The Optical Disc Archive Cartridge
houses 12 discs in a shell, and is
designed to allow handling free of risk
from dust or fingerprints. However, if
the cartridge is subjected to a severe
shock, for example by dropping it, this
can result in damage or scratching of
the discs. If a disc is scratched, it may
be impossible to write data, or to read
the data written on the disc. The
cartridge should be handled and
stored carefully.
• Do not remove any discs from the
cartridge.
• Do not disassemble the cartridge.
• If the disc order in a cartridge is
changed, or other discs are
substituted, the cartridge will no
longer be recognized by the unit and
cannot be used.
• The supplied adhesive labels are
recommended for indexing
cartridges. Apply the label in the
correct position.
Storage
• Do not store cartridges where they
may be subjected to direct sunlight,
or in other places where the
temperature or humidity is high.
• Do not leave cartridges where dust
may be able to gain ingress.
• Store cartridges in their cases.
Care of the cartridge
• Remove dust and dirt on the outside
of a cartridge using a soft dry cloth.
• If condensation forms, allow ample
time to dry before use.
