Diskettes — Care and Handling
Diskettes are sometimes called floppy disks, or floppies for short. Diskettes are
similar to cassette tapes—magnetically encoded information is stored on the diskette
for later retrieval. By adhering to the following guidelines you will increase the useful
life of your diskettes:
DO:
— Keep the diskette in a protective envelope when not in use.
— Keepthedisketteinadryplace.
— Keep the diskettes away from magnetic fields or objects (for example, magnetic
screwdriver.)
DO NOT:
— Touch any of the exposed surfaces of the diskette itself; handle it by the edge of
the jacket. Very tiny scratches, fingerprints, or dust can ruin a diskette.
— Bend a diskette.
— Write on a diskette label with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Use a felt-tipped pen
instead. Write the label before applying it to the diskette if possible.
— Erase the diskette label with a pencil eraser. The dust may destroy the diskette.
Instead, place a new label over the old one.
