Part 4. Care and Maintenance
• Avoid heavy vibration and dropping.
• The shutter on the face of the cartridge is opened automatically when it is
inserted into the drive. Do not open the shutter by hand, as touching the tape
may damage it.
• The cartridge was carefully aligned during assembly at the factory. Please
do not try to open it or take it apart.
• The write-protect switch on the face of the cartridge prevents the tape from
being written to or accidentally erased. If you do not need to write to the
tape, move this switch to the write-protect position (in the direction of the
arrow).
Using your fingernail, push the switch in the direction of the
arrow to protect the tape from writing or accidental erasure.
Return the switch to its original position to re-enable writing.
• In case of a sudden change in temperature, condensation may interfere with
reading and writing to a tape.
• Avoid unnecessary insertion and removal of cartridges if you do not need to
write or read a tape.
• When finished using the drive, remove the cartridge.
• Keep cartridges in their cases when not in the drive.
• Avoid storing cartridges in dusty places, in direct sunlight, near heaters or
air conditioners, or in humid locations.
• Do not place cartridges on the dashboard or in a storage tray in a car.
