Handling Floppy Disks
•
Do not open the shutter and touch the disk inside; otherwise, you will not be able
to read or write data to the disk.
•
Do not place floppy disks near magnets or heat source, in direct sunlight or in a
dusty place, etc.
•
Do not leave floppy disks on the built-in speakers; the magnets inside the
speakers may destroy the data in the disks.
•
Never subject a disk to sudden shocks or extreme vibration. Do not drop or bend
it. Do not place heavy objects on the disk.
•
Do not spill liquid onto the disk.
Inserting and Removing a Floppy Disk
Inserting

into the drive until it clicks into place. When you set the floppy disk correctly, the
eject button pops out.
