Tips
Here are a few tips you’ll want to keep in mind to care for
your Zip
®
drive and disks!
Always turn on power to your computer before inserting a
Zip
®
disk.
CAUTION If a disk is inserted without the power on, and power is
then applied, it could damage the drive. ˾
Never force a Zip
®
disk into or out of the drive.
Never use ordinary 3.5" diskettes or floppy head-cleaning disks in
your Zip
®
drive. They will damage your drive. Only use 250MB or
100MB Zip disks with the Zip logo on them.
CAUTION Never put anything into your
Zip
®
drive except Zip disks with the genuine
Zip 250 or Zip 100 symbol. Using disks that
do not have the genuine Zip symbol may
cause damage to your drive or loss of data. ˾
Avoid exposing Zip
®
disks to direct sunlight, high temperature,
moisture, and magnetic fields (such as from monitors or
speakers).
