Cartridge Write-Protect Switch

• The drive may be prevented from writing/recording on the media by enabling the write protect
switch (Figure 4).

Cleaning the Drive

• If the yellow Use Cleaning Tape indicator turns on, unload the data cartridge and load the cleaning
cartridge. The cleaning cartridge automatically cleans the read/write head and unloads when clea-
ning is complete. Be sure to remove the cleaning cartridge when cleaning is complete. Cleaning
cartridges may be purchased from Tandberg Data, ordering no. P/N 43 18 78. The cleaning car-
tridge provides approx. 20 drive cleanings before replacement is necessary.

Operating Hints

• Never operate the cartridge insert/release handle if the green Operate Handle indicator is not on
steadily or blinking, or drive power is off.
• Make sure the cartridge leader is in the correct position; open the cartridge door to inspect the
leader (Figure 5).
