Quantum DAT 160 Betriebsanweisung

For best performance of your DAT Autochanger, please observe the following
guidelines:

p If you expose cassettes to temperatures outside the operating limits – 40-113°F

(5-40°C) – stabilize them by leaving the cassettes in the operating temperature
for a minimum of two hours before you use them.

p Avoid temperature problems by ensuring that the DAT Autochanger's side and

rear are not obstructed, so that the drive has adequate ventilation.

p Position the DAT Autochanger where the temperature is relatively stable (i.e.,

away from open windows, fan heaters and doors).

p Avoid leaving cassettes in severe temperature conditions, for example, in a car

standing in bright sunlight.

p Avoid transferring data (reading from and writing to cassettes) when the

temperature is changing by more than 15°F (10°C) per hour.
