Notes on use
The floppy disk is an important data storage media with delicate structure and requires care. Keep
the following notes in mind to use it:
Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive gently as far as it goes.
Attach the label to the correct position.
Do not write anything directly onto the disk surface with a pencil or ball-point pen.
Do not open the shutter.
Do not use the floppy disk in a dusty place.
Do not place anything on the floppy disk.
Do not leave the floppy disk in a high-temperature place (e.g., place exposed to direct
sunlight or close to a heater).
Do not leave the floppy disk with foods and drinks, or in a place exposed to cigarette
smoke.
Do not leave the floppy disk near any form of liquid or a chemical or in a place where a
chemical may be accidentally sprayed over them.
Do not place any magnetic objects (e.g., magnet) near the floppy disk.
Do not clip the floppy disk or drop it.
Keep the floppy disk in a floppy disk case that protects it from magnetism and dust.
Write-protection
A floppy disk has a write-protect switch that prevents the stored data from accidental
erasure.
You can read data from a write-protected floppy disk, but you cannot save data into the
floppy disk or format it. NEC recommends that you should write-protect any floppy disk
containing valuable data unless you are about to save data.
To write-protect a 3.5-inch floppy disk, use the write-protect switch provided on its back.
