Part 4. Care and Maintenance 31
■ Avoid sudden changes in temperature
If the drive is moved from a cool place to a warm place, or if the room
temperature suddenly rises, moisture may condense inside the case. After a
sudden change in temperature, turn off the drive and wait at least one hour
before turning it on again.
Inserting a cartridge with condensation inside the drive can damage the drive
or the tape. Immediately remove cartridges in the drive if there is a possibility
that there is condensation inside.
Leaving the drive on without inserting cartridges, moreover, will quickly
evaporate any condensation.
■ Abnormal occurrences
If the drive behaves abnormally, or if it begins to smell or smoke,
immediately unplug it from the wall outlet and contact your supplier for
assistance.
■ Cabinet cleaning
Wipe the cabinet with a soft dry cloth. For heavy dirt, wipe with a soft cloth
moistened with a gentle liquid soap, then wipe again with a soft dry cloth. Do
not use alcohol, paint thinner, bug sprays, or other volatile solvents, as they
can damage the finish.
