Handling Zip Disks
Although the plastic shell protects the data surface from most accidental damage, the following
rules MUST be observed:
DO remove the disk in the drive after use. Return it to its protective case to prevent
damage from dirt and spills.
DO
NOT manually open the access door on the disk drive.
DO
NOT open the disk when it is outside the drive.
DO
NOT insert objects into the disk.
DO
NOT handle the front edge of the disk. Oils can be transferred from hands to the
media surface.
DO
NOT transport the drive with the disk inserted. If the drive is to be moved with the
power off, the disk must be removed before turnoff.
DO
NOT leave a disk partially inserted in the drive. This increases the possibility of
damaging the disk or the drive.
DO
NOT put a disk near a loudspeaker, transformer, telephone or electric motor.
DO
NOT expose disks to direct sunlight or moisture.
DO
NOT expose disks to magnetic fields greater than 30 Gauss.
DO
NOT
store disks at temperatures above 125º F (50º C).
