Chapter 4 Care and Maintenance
Taking Care of Cartridges
Usage Precautions
• Avoid dropping the cartridges and high vibrations.
• The lid on the face of the cartridges opens automatically when they are
inserted into the drive. Do not open the lid by hand, as touching the tape
may damage it.
• The cartridges are precisely aligned. Do not try to open or dismantle them.
• The write-protect switch on the face of cartridges is used to prevent the tape
from being written to or accidentally erased. If you do not need to write to
the tape, move this switch to the write-protect position.
• In case of a sudden change in temperature, condensation may interfere with
reading and writing to a tape.
• Avoid unnecessary insertion and removal of cartridge if you do not need to
write or read a tape.
• When you are done using the drive, remove the cartridge.
• Avoid touching AIT cartridges’ Memory in Cassette (MIC) terminals as
they are sensitive precision components.
Storage Precautions
• Keep cartridges in their cases when not in the drive.
• Avoid storing cartridges in dusty locations, in direct sunlight, near heaters
or air conditioners, or in humid locations.
• Do not place cartridges on dashboards or in car storage trays.
