Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields. (Remember,

diskettes store data magnetically; strong magnetic fields can

scramble that data.) Do not set your diskettes on such

common magnetic sources as electrical appliances,
telephones, television sets, and loudspeakers. Do not place

your diskettes near your hard disk drive or the AC adapter.

Keep diskettes in a moderate environment. They work best

at room temperature and in normal humidity. Never leave

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

temperature in a car in the middle of summer or winter can

cause severe damage.

Do not expose a diskette’s magnetic surface by sliding the

metal shutter. Never touch a diskette’s magnetic surface.

The oil on your fingertips can damage the diskette and also

the drive.

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

sure they do not get bent.

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

Store diskettes properly in diskette containers.

If you use an external, 5 

 diskette drive, be especially

careful with your 5 

 diskettes. Because they are more

flexible, and because they do not have a metal shutter

protecting their magnetic surfaces, they are more easily

damaged than 3 

 diskettes. Always keep 5 

diskettes in their protective envelopes when you are not using

them.
