Do not power down your computer or press the floppy disk drive eject button while the
FDD indicator ( ) is on.
Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the disk useless.
Use care when handling floppy disks.
To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming 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 disk, because all data on the disk will be erased.
Use the write-protect tab.
This is a must for preserving im-
portant data. This prevents your
data from being erased or overwrit-
ten.
Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use
them regularly.
We recommend you run the software:
• When booting your computer.
• After receiving data.
We recommend that you check data received on floppy disks or from external sources, such
as data downloaded from the Internet, e-mail, etc. (For compressed files, please uncompress
them before running a check).
