Operation and Maintenance

43

Caution

Cleaning cassettes are considerably more abrasive to the drive's
recording heads than standard data cassettes. Usage should be kept
within the recommended limits, or the warranty may not be applicable
to the affected equipment.

The VLS is once again ready for use.

Caution

If you encounter a hard error during normal operation, first try a new
4mm data cassette. If this solves the problem, continue on with the
new cassette.

If the symptom persists, try one cleaning cycle with the cleaning
cassette. If this does not resolve the problem, we recommend that you
do NOT use the cleaning cassette again – instead, call the 

DGLF

’s

Customer Assistance group.

Cleaning the Enclosure

The outside of the enclosure can be cleaned with a damp towel. If you use a liquid all-
purpose cleaner, apply it to the towel. Do not directly spray the enclosure.
