Caring for Travan cartridges
Although Travan tape cartridges are ruggedly built,
they must be handled with care. Observe the follow-
ing precautions:
• Store cartridges in their protective cases when you
are not using them.
• Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt, or moisture.
• Keep cartridges away from direct sunlight and heat
sources, such as radiators or warm air ducts.
• Do not expose cartridges to temperature extremes
or rapid changes in temperature.
• Keep cartridges away from sources of electromag-
netic fields, such as telephones, computer monitors,
dictation equipment, mechanical or printing
calculators, motors and bulk erasers.
• Do not open the tape access door of a cartridge or
touch the tape itself. One fingerprint can prevent
the drive from reading the tape.
