• Do not attempt to clean the tape path or tape guides inside the cartridge.
• Do not leave cartridges in the drive. The tape loses tension in the power-off state, which can lead
to problems, par ticularly if the drive has been moved.
• Do not leave cartridges in excessively dr y or humid conditions.
• Do not leave cartridges in direct sunlight or in places where magnetic fields are present (for
example, under telephones, next to monitors or nea r transformers).
• Do not drop car tridges or handle them roughly.
• Stick labels onto the label area only.
• Do not bulk erase (or degauss) Ultrium format cartridges because this will render them unusable.
