ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL MAINTENANCE
manufacturers:
1. Whenever handling diskettes do not touch the
recording surface. Touch them only on the plas-
tic jacket.
2. After you have finished using a diskette do
replace it in its protective envelope immediate-
ly. If you leave a diskette exposed; dust, de-
bris, cigarette smoke and other atmospheric
pollutants can Quickly cause damage to the
recorded data.
3. When writing an ID label for the diskette do
not use a hard pen, such as a ball point. Use a
soft felt tip if the label is already the
cover. If you are replacing an ID label, write
it out first, then attach it to the diskette
jacket. Heavy pressure can mark the surface of a
diskette causing malfunction.
4. Diskettes work best at temperatures between
50 and 120 degrees fahrenheit. Outside these
limits, their performance may well deteriorate.
Avoid extremes of temperature.
5. Avoid all magnets and magnetic fields (like
a television set). Always be aware of where you
are storing your diskettes, and what equipment
is immediately adjacent to their storage area.
6. Do not fold or bend diskettes. Handle them
carefully so they will always keep their shape
and make firm contact with the read/write head.
7. Do not use erasers on the ID label. Debris
