DISK HANDLING PROCEDURE:

DISK DRIVE: 3.5" IBM format, 1.44MB.  Disks must be formatted

by the Plus console before use.

Insert the diskette as illustrated.  Do not force it into the drive.  If the diskette

will not insert easily, it is not correctly oriented.
To eject the diskette, push the small button on the disk drive.
To protect your data:
• Do not expose to high temperatures.
• Do not store near magnetic fields.
• Do not eject a diskette while the disk drive indicator light is on.  This could

result in loss of data or incomplete loading of a show.  Wait  until  the

indicator light goes off before ejecting.

TO FORMAT A DISK:

Disk must be formatted before recording show information to the disk.
Press and hold Shift and Press 5

Select 12; press Enter

When format is complete, disk will stop and console restores.

WRITE PROTECTION:

Write protection locks the disk, preventing alteration of stored data.  To

write protect the disk:
• Orient the diskette so that the round metal circle is pointed toward you.
• With the metal flap on top, the write-protect tab is located in the lower

right-hand corner.  If this tab is closed, the diskette is not Write Protected.

If the tab is open, the diskette is Write Protected, and no new data can

be recorded.

Diskettes may be purchased from EDl (Part#119-0058) or any

computer supply house. Diskettes should be double-sided,

high-density, MF2-HD diskette equivalent.  Two non-formatted

disks are supplied with the Plus console.
