3.2.4 Diskette Care
Handling
Damaged diskettes should not be inserted into
the diskette drive. Diskettes that are physically
damaged (torn, creased, warped) or contaminated
with foreign materials (eraser dust, fingerprints,
cleaning fluid, etc) might cause the diskette to
lift from the head resulting in operation errors,
equipment errors, or head damage.
Placing heavy objects on diskettes might damage
the diskettes.
Return diskette to envelope whenever it is
removed from the 33FD.
Do not use clips. Also, never write on the
diskette with erasable pencil.

Do not touch or clean the diskette surface.

Keep diskette away from magnetic fields and
ferromagnetic materials that might be mag-
netized. Any diskette exposed to a magnetic
field could lose information.

Do not expose diskette to excessive heat
(125°F or 51.5°C) or direct sunlight.
Long Term Storage
Place diskettes in their envelopes and store in
the following environment:
Temperature: 50° to 125°F (10.0° to 51.5°C)
Relative humidity: 8% to 80%
Maximum wet bulb: 85°F (29.4°C)
If a diskette was exposed to temperatures out-
side of the machine's environmental range, allow
five minutes acclimation time before use. The
diskette should be removed from its shipping
container during this time, but should be kept
in its envelope.
Shipping and Receiving
Ship diskettes inside the original shipping car-
ton. An ordinary mailing envelope does not
provide sufficient protection.
Be sure to label the package: DO NOT EXPOSE
TO EXCESSIVE HEAT (125°F or 51.5°C) OR
DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

Upon receiving diskettes, check for carton and

the diskette and for later shipment.
