Storage precautions
• Store cartridges in an appropriate environment (see page 72 for details).
• Always place cartridges in their plastic cases as soon as possible when you are
not using them.
• Do not place cartridges on or near devices that may produce magnetic fields
such as computers or monitors as this may erase the data on the tape.
• Do not store cartridges in a high humidity environment, direct sunlight, close
to heat sources, dusty locations, or locations subject to intense vibrations.
• When placing cartridges in archival storage, we recommend that you place
them vertically.
• When storing cartridges, we recommend that they are write-protected.
• Do not degauss the cartridge as degaussing may render the tape unusable.
Before using cartridges, let them acclimate themselves to the operating
environment for at least 24 hours.
