Ejecting a diskette
♦
Wait until the drive's activity indicator is unlit, then press the
button.
EJECT
If a diskette becomes stuck in the drive, perhaps because its label has
peeled back, do not attempt to remove it with tweezers or any
similar implement; you risk damaging the drive. Call an authorised
maintainer.
Write-protecting a diskette
♦
A diskette can be write-protected by sliding a tab towards the
edge of the diskette to expose the small hole beneath it (see
illustration).
You can read, copy or print the files on a write-protected diskette,
but you cannot create, rename or delete any files.
Diskette care
Keep diskettes away from dust, moisture, magnetic objects, and
equipment that generates magnetic fields. Also, avoid extremes of
temperature and exposure to direct sunlight. Otherwise, data
recorded on the diskette may become corrupted.
Always check that labels are firmly fixed before you use the diskette
and do not leave them in the drive for prolonged periods.
