Notes on handling
When handling data cartridges, note the following items:
 When reading data, the data cartridge should be write-protected.
 When a data cartridge is not to be used, store it outside the QIC tape cartridge unit (i.e., do not
leave the data cartridge in the QIC tape cartridge unit).
IMPORTANT
After a QIC tape cartridge unit has been used for a long time , the built-in magnetic head
will become stained by dust or magnetic powder from tapes. If the magnetic head is left
stained, it may damage the tape. Dust or magnetic powder on the tape may cause errors
or result in data destruction. To clean the magnetic head using a cleaning cartridge, read
the section "Cleaning the magnetic head" in this chapter.
