Operating Basics

Floppy diskettes

The USB floppy diskette drive is available only as an option.

1.Store your floppy diskettes in the container they came in to protect them and keep them clean. If a floppy diskette becomes dirty, clean it with a soft, lightly dampened cloth - do not use cleaning fluid.

2.Never open the shutter or touch the magnetic surface of your floppy diskette - doing this could permanently damage it and lose data.

3.Always handle floppy diskettes with care to prevent the loss of stored data.

4.Always apply the floppy diskette label in the correct location and never apply a new label on top of an existing one - in this instance the label could come loose and damage the floppy diskette drive.

5.Never use a pencil for writing on a floppy diskette label as the dust from the pencil lead could cause a system malfunction if it found its way onto the computer's components. In this instance, always use a felt-tipped pen and write the label first before applying it to the floppy diskette.

6.Never put a floppy diskette in a location where water or other liquid may make contact with it, or where it is excessively damp - either of these conditions could cause data loss.

7.Never use a wet or damp floppy diskette - this could damage the floppy diskette drive or other devices within the computer.

8.Data may be lost if the floppy diskette is twisted, bent, or exposed to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold.

9.Do not place heavy objects on your floppy diskettes.

10.Do not eat, smoke, or use items such as erasers near your floppy diskettes as foreign particles inside the jacket of the floppy diskette can damage the magnetic surface.

11.Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your floppy diskettes. In view of this you should keep your floppy diskettes away from speakers, radios, televisions and other sources of magnetic fields.
