If your QX-10 is not already turned ON, turn it ON now by pressing the ON/OFF switch on the right side of the main unit. When the INSERT DISKETTE message appears on the screen, gently slide the system diskette into drive A, with the oval-shaped window first and the label facing up. Slide the diskette in as far as it goes easily. Don’t bend it or force it in any way. If it doesn’t seem to go in correctly, take it out and try again.
You’ll notice that when the diskette is almost all the way in, it meets some resistance. Now give it a gentle push; it will go in all the way (you’ll hear a soft click). Press the button marked PUSH. After a brief whir, information will appear on the monitor screen.
Remember: Don’t open a drive while the red IN-USE light is on. If the computer is reading the diskette, it probably won’t do any harm to open the drive, but if you open it while writing onto the diskette, you will lose data and possibly render the diskette unusable.
When you’re sure that the drive is not reading or writing (when the red IN-USE light is off), remove the diskette by pressing the button marked PUSH and sliding the diskette out.
That’s it! Your QX-10 is up and running!
