Special Notes or Considerations:
WARNING: Magnets should be kept away from computers, computer disks,
televisions, audio and video cassettes, credit cards, and other electronic equipment, or
things that store information electronically.
Magnets can chip, break, or demagnetize if dropped or hit against something hard.
Handle magnets with care.
When storing magnets, using the supplied magnet keepers. (The small metal strips
attached to the ends of the horseshoe and bar magnet.) This will keep the magnetic
field strength of the magnet stronger and also help protect your possessions from
damage caused by the magnets.
Store magnets in a dry cool place, magnets can oxidize and high temperatures can also
cause magnets to become demagnetized.
