Floppy disk handling precautions
Floppy disks are a convenient and easy to handle, but
certain precautions are required to protect the data on
the disk.
Shutter
• Do not open the shutter by hand or touch the surface
of the disk media. Data errors can result from dirt or
scratches on the disk surface.
• Keep floppy disks away from televisions, speakers,
and other sources of magnetism. The contents of the
disk can be erased by magnets.
• Do not leave floppy disks near heaters or in locations
exposed to direct sunlight. Excessive heat can deform
the disk and render it unusable.
• Do not leave floppy disks near ashtrays or cups filled
with liquid. Data errors can result from dust or liquids
that contact the disk surface.
• To protect the data on floppy disks, store them in a
case or other safe place.
