USB Floppy Disk Drive
Note the following when using a USB floppy disk drive (CF-VFDU03).
Do not power off your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject but-
ton while the floppy disk drive being accessed.
Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless.
Use care when handling floppy disks.
To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becom-
ing stuck in your computer, avoid the following:
• Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.
• Exposing the disk to a magnetic field.
• Storing the disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, dampness, or dust.
• Applying more than one label on the disk.
Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.
Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the
floppy disk will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.
This is a must for preserving impor-
tant data. This prevents your data
from being erased or overwritten.
The USB floppy disk drive cannot be used at the same time as other floppy disk drives.
Do not directly open application files (e.g., Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel)
which are stored on the floppy disk. First copy the files to the hard disk, then
open the copied files from the hard disk.
