Storing Tape Cartridges

role: protecting your data.
Do not place tape cartridges near sources of electromagnetic interference,
such as under a telephone, or near computer monitors, motors, video, or
X-ray equipment.
Keep cartridges out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.
Store cartridges in their plastic cases in an environment that is free
