Observe the items indicated below when handling floppy disks.
Do not put the floppy disk near magnets or a TV.
Do not expose it to excessive heat, humidity, or direct sunlight.

Do not use damaged or deformed floppy disk, otherwise the floppy disk
drive could be damaged.
Clean the head of the FDD (the part where data is read or written) about

To prevent the stored data from being erased, slide the tab of the write
protect switch to open the write protect window of a floppy disk (write
protect state).
Insert a floppy disk slowly and carefully.
If a floppy disk is inserted impetuously, it may become difficult to eject
the floppy disk, or the machine may be damaged.
Do not eject a floppy disk forcefully. The floppy disk or the FDD may be
damaged.
