Keep them away from anything magnetic.

Store them in a clean, dust-free environment.

When not in use, store them by putting them on their edge.
•
Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from sources of extreme heat,
cold, or humidity.

Make sure the cartridge is at the same temperature as the drive before using
it.

Never open the tape access door on the cartridge and touch the surface of
the tape.
