Taking care of diskettes
To protect the data stored on your diskettes:
❖ Store your diskettes in their boxes or other containers to
protect them and keep them clean.
❖ Keep diskettes at room temperature and avoid exposing
them to direct sunlight. Otherwise data may be lost.
❖ Keep your diskettes away from sources of magnetism,
such as speakers and radios, since these can destroy data.
❖ Clean dirty diskettes with a soft cloth moistened in water.
Do not use cleaning fluids.
Avoid:
❖ Sliding back the protective metal cover.
❖ Touching the magnetic surface of a diskette. Fingerprints
can prevent the drive from reading the data held on a
diskette.
❖ Twisting or bending a diskette.
❖ Placing heavy objects on your diskettes.
❖ Eating, smoking or using erasers near your diskettes.
Foreign particles can damage the surface.
