Important Notes
•Never attempt to remove aZip disk from the drive while
the drive is operating (the indicator is lit); damage could
result to both the disk and the drive.
•Remove any disk from the drive before powering up or
down.
•To prevent damage to the disk drive's heads, always try to
hold the Zip disk in alevel position (not tilted in any
direction) while inserting it into the drive. Push it in
firmly, but gently. Never use excessive force.
•To avoid the risk of malfunction and/or damage, insert
only Zip disks into the disk drive. Never insert any other
type of disk. Avoid getting paper clips, coins, or any other
foreign objects inside the drive.
Handling Zip Disks
•Zip disks contain aplastic disk with athin coating of
magnetic storage medium. Microscopic precision is
required to enable storage of large amounts of data on
such asmall surface area. To preserve their integrity,
please observe the following when handling Zip disks:
•Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
•Do not use or store Zip disks in dirty or dusty areas.
•Do not subject Zip disks to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle). Recommended
temperature range: -22 to 51° C(-7.6 to 123.8° F.)
•Do not expose Zip disks to strong magnetic fields, such
as those generated by loudspeakers.
•The identification label should be firmly affixed to the
disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in the
drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.
•Store all disks in a safe place to avoid damaging them, and
to protect them from dust, dirt, and other hazards. By
using adirty or dust-ridden disk, you risk damaging the
disk, as well as causing the disk drive to malfunction.
Handling CD-ROMs
•Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM
discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean
using acommercially available CD cleaner.
