Ejecting the AIT data cartridge Confirm that the TAPE MOTION LED is not blinking. Pressing the EJECT button, Built-In AIT starts rewinding the tape (this may take a few minutes). When the tape is completely rewound, the data cartridge is automatically ejected from the Built- In AIT.
Remove the data cartridge from the slot and close the dust cover. • When the TAPE MOTION LED is lit or blinking, do not turn off the basic processing unit. This may cause a malfunction or damage data. • To avoid malfunction, do not transport this unit with the data cartridge installed. •...
Cleaning To keep the drive in good condition, regular cleaning is required. Cleaning the read/write head When the CLEANING REQUEST LED lights, clean the Built-In AIT internal read/write head. Set the provided cleaning cartridge in the drive, following the procedure described in “Handling” in “Setting the AIT Data Cartridge”.
Cleaning the Built-In AIT If the Built-In AIT looks dirty, gently wipe its surface with soft cloth moistened with water or detergent. Important Do not clean the Built-In AIT using chemicals such as benzine or thinner (volatile chemicals), which may cause the unit to be deformed or discolored. For the same reason, do not spray insecticide.

Operation, Storage and Transportation Requirements ■ Operation requirements : 10 to 45 °C Temperature : 20 to 80 % (The maximum temperature of wet bulb is 26 °C.) Humidity Shelf time : If an AIT data cartridge is exposed to an environment other than the operating or storage environment, expose it to the operating environment for a longer time than the period when it is exposed to other environment (for 8 hours at maximum) before use.
Precautions on entry to label • To represent the data contained in the AIT data cartridge, use a label which can be easily replaced and no adhesion trace is left. • To change the label indication, do not erase it with an eraser but peel the old label and paste a new one.
Precautions on Handling Operational precautions Before use • If the AIT data cartridge is damaged, deformed or bent, do not use it. • If the AIT data cartridge is exposed to an environment other than the operating or storage environment, expose it to the operating environment for a longer time than the period when it is exposed to other environment (for 8 hours at maximum) before use.
Usage Inhibition Standard If the AIT data cartridge you are using suffers from one of the conditions below, replace it. • The AIT data cartridge received a strong shock (when falling, for example) and is damaged. Cartridges damaged this way may be broken or warped, their tape covers may no longer open and close properly, which may prevent you from ejecting them from the drive.
Storing Important Data When storing important data or programs, it is strongly recommended that you should prepare and store the master tape and copy (backup) tape just in case. Further, we recommend that you verify backup software when saving, and check saved data. For details on verification, refer to the instruction manual for the backup software you are using.
