Handling Zip disks
!
Follow the instructions supplied by the vendor of the Zip disks and the following notes:
Always switch your computer on before inserting a Zip disk.
Never use force when inserting and removing Zip disks.
Never use ordinary 3.5" disks or cleaning disks in your Zip drive. This will damage the Zip
drive.
Do not move the protection against accidental contact on the Zip disk.
Protect your Zip disk from dust, mechanical vibration, heat, direct sunlight and strong
magnetic fields!
Do not drop the Zip disk.
Do not use the Zip disk during large fluctuations in temperature or humidity.
Always transport the Zip disk in its protective cover.
Never clean the Zip drive with cleaning disks. Even just one attempt would destroy the
read/write head in the Zip drive within 20 seconds.
