To remove a floppy disk, press the eject
button until the floppy disk pops out.
Never remove a floppy disk while the
indicator on the floppy disk drive is on.
Never force open the access shutter on a
floppy disk.
Always remove a floppy disk from the floppy
disk drive before turning off the computer.
Never transport the computer with a floppy
disk in the floppy disk drive. Doing so can
damage the drive head.
If a floppy disk is damaged, try to make a
copy of it and immediately discard it.
When floppy disks are not in use keep
them in a storage box to protect them from
damage or loss.
When using an external floppy disk drive,
make sure the connecting cable is securely
connected to the drive and to the parallel
port on the computer's rear panel.
