Cartridge Storage Conditions
•
Before you use a cartridge, let it acclimate to the normal operating
environment for 24 hours.
•
Ensure that all surfaces of the cartridge are dry before use.
•
Do not expose the cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight.
•
Always ship or store a cartridge in the vertical orientation and inside a
jewel case to prevent damage to the tape edge.
•
Do not expose recorded or blank cartridges to stray magnetic fields (for
example, terminals, motors, video equipment, X-ray equipment, or fields
that exist near high-current cables or power supplies). Such exposure can
lead to loss of data or render the blank cartridge unusable.
•
Maintain the environmental conditions outlined in the Table 11.
