Keep diskettes in a moderate environment. Don’t leave
diskettes sitting in the sun, or in extreme cold or heat.
0
Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields, such as
electrical appliances, telephones, and loudspeakers.
(Remember that diskettes store information
magnetically.)
Q
Do not place diskettes on top of your monitor or near an
external hard disk drive.
Q
Always hold a 51/4-inch diskette by its protective jacket
and never touch the magnetic surface (exposed by the
read/write slot). The oils on your fingertips can damage
it.
0
Do not place anything on top of your diskettes, and be
sure they do not get bent.
0
Carefully label your diskettes and indicate the type and
density. Attach the label only along the top of a diskette
(next to the manufacturer’s label). Do not stick several
labels on top of one another; this can make it difficult to
insert and remove the diskette in the drive.
P
Write on a diskette label before you attach it to the
diskette. If you need to write on a label that is already on
the diskette, use only a soft-tip pen-not a ballpoint pen
or a pencil.
Q
Store diskettes in their protective envelopes and in a
proper location, such as a diskette container. Do not store
diskettes flat or stack them on top of each other.
