Tape Care & Handling Tips -- Magnetic Tapes
GENERAL
1. Keep media away from all stray magnetic fields; even weak magnetic
fields can cause erasures. Induction motors, such as those found in air
conditioners, refrigerators and compressors produce very strong magnetic
fields. A typical color TV also produces a large magnetic field when it is
first switched on due to the automatic degausser that is responsible for
the restoration of purity by eliminating any residual magnetism in the
picture tube.
2. Never store magnetic media on top of electronic equipment, even temporarily.
Almost all types of electronic equipment produce magnetic fields and heat.
3. Discard physically damaged media. Such damage can easily introduce dirt
and debris into other transports, affecting the running characteristics of
magnetic media, and can even damage the recording heads and transports.
4. For the best protection when not in use, keep magnetic media in the
original hard case or equivalent package.
HANDLING/OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
1. Never touch the surface or the edges of any magnetic media.
2. Only handle, operate and store magnetic media in an environment that is
free of dust, debris, smoke and food.
3. Maintain appropriate operating temperature and humidity at all times.
We recommend you obtain a copy of the SMPTE (Society of Motion
Picture and Television Engineer) Recommended Practice RP-103
(www.smpte.org) and refer to it for specific parameters, especially for
professional video tape.
4. Whenever transporting magnetic media from an extreme environment to
an operating environment, allow it to acclimatize to the operating
environment for the same period of time it was in the harsh environment,
up to a maximum of 24 hours. The greater the change of environment,
the greater the required time for acclimation.
