Handling Travan cartridges
Although Travan tape cartridges are ruggedly built, they
must be handled with care. Observe the following precau-
tions:
• Store cartridges in their protective cases when you are
not using them.
• Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt and moisture.
• Keep cartridges away from direct sunlight and heat
sources, such as radiators or warm air ducts.
• Do not expose cartridges to temperature extremes or
rapid changes in temperature.
• Keep cartridges away from sources of electromagnetic
fields, such as telephones, computer monitors, print-
ers, dictation equipment, mechanical or printing
calculators, motors or bulk erasers.
• Do not open the tape access door of a cartridge or
touch the tape itself. One fingerprint can prevent the
drive from reading information on the tape.
Note. For additional handling recommendations, see the
literature included with your tape cartridge.
