Never wipe, brush, or try to clean diskettes in any way.

Keep diskettes in a moderate environment. They work best

at normal room temperature and in normal humidity. Don’t

leave diskettes sitting in the sun, or in extreme cold or heat.

Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields. (Remember that

diskettes store information magnetically.) There are many

magnetic sources in your home or office, such as electrical

appliances, telephones, and loudspeakers.

Do not place diskettes on top of your monitor or near an

external hard disk drive.

The surface of a 5 ¼-inch diskette is exposed by the read/

write slot. Always hold the diskette by its protective jacket

and never touch the magnetic surface. The oils on your

fingertips can damage it.

If you have a 3 ½-inch diskette drive, do not slide the metal

shutter on the diskette; this exposes its magnetic surface.

Do not place anything on top of your diskettes, and be sure

they do not get bent. A diskette does not rotate properly in

the drive if it has been damaged.

Carefully label your diskettes and be sure to indicate the

diskette type and density. Attach labels firmly but gently,

and only along the top of a diskette (next to the

manufacturer’s label). Do not stick several labels on top of

one another; too many labels can make it difficult to insert

and remove the diskette in the drive.
