Handling cartridges
Every
cartridge c~nw in a protective box; and should always be kept in its
box when not in we.
When you take a cartridge out of its box (being careful not to touch the tape
itself) you will see that it has a label on the top and another on the side.
Push the cartridge firmly into the slot in the front of the Microdrive, making
sure that the label on the side faces upwards. This will leave the top of the
cartridge projecting by about %cm. The Microdrive and cartridge are now ready
to be used.
When you have finished using the cartridge, pull it carefully out of the
Microdrive, and replace it immediately in its box. But remember.. .
NEVER TAKE THE CARTRIDGE OUT OF THE
MICRODRIVE WHILE THE MICRODRIVE LIGHT IS ON.
NEVER SWITCH THE POWER ON OR OFF WHILE A
CARTRIDGE IS IN THE MICRODRIVE.
