Caring for diskettes

Store your diskettes properly to protect and keep them clean.
If a diskette is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with
water. Do not use cleaning fluids.
Never slide back the protective metal cover.
Never touch the magnetic surface of a diskette. Fingerprints
can prevent the drive from reading the data stored on a
diskette.
Never twist or bend a diskette.
Keep diskettes at room temperature and avoid exposing them
to direct sunlight, otherwise data may be lost.
Never place heavy objects on your diskettes.
Never eat, smoke, or use erasers near your diskettes. Foreign
particles can damage the diskette's surface.
Keep your diskettes away from sources of magnetism, such as
speakers and radios; these can destroy data.
