Handling Travan Cartridges 2
Although Travan tape cartridges are ruggedly built, they must be
handled with care. Observe the following precautions:
Store cartridges in their protective cases when you are not using
them.
Keep cartridges away from dust, dirt and moisture.
Keep cartridges away from direct sunlight and heat sources, such as
radiators or warm air ducts.
Do not expose cartridges to temperature extremes or rapid changes in
temperature.
Keep cartridges away from sources of electromagnetic fields, such as
telephones, computer monitors, printers, dictation equipment,
mechanical or printing calculators, motors or bulk erasers.
Do not open the tape access door of a cartridge or touch the tape
itself. One fingerprint can prevent the drive from reading informa-
tion on the tape.
Travan 20GB Drives Wait until the drive-activity light is OFF.

Travan 40GB Drives Make sure the drive-activity light is OFF.

drive, grasp the exposed sides of the cartridge
and carefully pull the cartridge straight out.
Note: For additional handling recommendations, see the literature
included with your tape cartridge.
