Handling and Storage

- Ensure that all surfaces of the cartridge are dry before use
- Do not expose the cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight
- Always ship or store a cartridge in the vertical orientation and inside a jewel case to prevent damage to the tape edge unless in a specifically designed case for holding tapes
- Do not expose recorded or blank cartridges to stray magnetic fields (eg. terminals, motors, video equipment, X-ray equipment, or fields that exist near high-current cables or power supplies). Such exposure can lead to loss of data or render the blank cartridge unusable
