Handling Zip Disks
Although the plastic shell protects the data surface from most accidental damage, the following
rules MUST be observed:
 DO remove the disk in the drive after use. Return it to its protective case to prevent
damage from dirt and spills.
 DO NOT manually open the access door on the disk drive.
 DO NOT open the disk when it is outside the drive.
 DO NOT insert objects into the disk.
 DO NOT handle the front edge of the disk. Oils can be transferred from hands to the
media surface.
 DO NOT transport the drive with the disk inserted. If the drive is to be moved with the
power off, the disk must be removed before turnoff.
 DO NOT leave a disk partially inserted in the drive. This increases the possibility of
damaging the disk or the drive.
 DO NOT put a disk near a loudspeaker, transformer, telephone or electric motor.
 DO NOT expose disks to direct sunlight or moisture.
 DO NOT expose disks to magnetic fields greater than 30 Gauss.
 DO NOT store disks at temperatures above 125º F (50º C).
