Cassette Handling and Storage
For longer life of recorded or unrecorded cassettes, store cassettes in a clean
environment with these conditions:
• Keep the cassette out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and other heat
sources.
• Store the cassette in temperatures between 5° C and 32° C (41°F to 89.6°F).
• If the cassette has been exposed to conditions outside of the operating
specifications, stabilize it at room temperature for the same amount of time it was
exposed—up to 24 hours.
• Do not place the cassette near electromagnetic interference sources, such as video
monitors, motors, magnets, and video or X-ray equipment. Data on the cassette
can be altered.
• Store the cassette in a dust-free environment where the relative humidity is
between 20 percent and 60 percent. For longer cartridge life, store the cassette at
20 percent to 40 percent relative humidity.
