The Floppy Disk Drive
75
•
Floppy disks contain a 'write protect' tab which protects your data from accidental erasure. To preserve
your data, keep the tab in the 'PROTECT' position. Move the tab to the 'WRITE' position only when you
wish to add new data to the disk:
This protect tab, along with the 'Lock' parameters (found under the [PRESETS] button) help protect your
valuable data from accidental erasure.
•
All important data should be copied onto backup disks. This provides a complete duplicate in the event the
original disks are lost or damaged.
•
The identification label should be firmly fixed to the disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in
the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.
•
Disks not in use should be placed in their storage cases.
HANDLING THE DISK DRIVE
•
Avoid using the drive in dusty areas, or areas of high humidity (e.g. condensation). High humidity can
adversely affect the operation of the drive and/or damage floppy disks. When the instrument has been
transported, allow it to warm to room temperature before attempting to use the drive.
•
To insert a disk into the drive (label side up; metal shutter first), push it gently but firmly until it clicks into
place:
