Keep diskettes in a moderate environment. Don’t leave

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

Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields, such as
electrical appliances, telephones, and loudspeakers.

(Remember that diskettes store information

magnetically.)

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

external hard disk drive.

Always hold a

diskette by its protective jacket

and never touch the magnetic surface (exposed by the

read/write slot). The oils on your fingertips can damage
it.

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

sure they do not get bent.

Carefully label your diskettes and indicate the type and
density. Attach the label only along the top of a diskette

(next to the manufacturer’s label). Do not stick several

labels on top of one another; this can make it difficult to
insert and remove the diskette in the drive.

Write on a diskette label before you attach it to the
diskette. If you need to write on a label that is already on
the diskette, use only a soft-tip pen-not a ballpoint pen

or a pencil.

Store diskettes in their protective envelopes and in a

proper location, such as a diskette container. Do not store

diskettes flat or stack them on top of each other.
