Observe the following precautions for long use of your floppy disks.
o Do not touch, soil, or scratch the recording surface (through the head
window) to prevent disk errors due to damaged medium.
o Do not apply alcohol, thinner, freon, or other solvents to the magnetic
surface or disks.
o Do not bend or fold the floppy disk to prevent damage.
o Never place magnetized materials (such as magnets) near floppy disks. Mag-
netism will destroy the data on a floppy disk. For the same reason keep mag-
netic field generating equipment (such as moters) away from floppy disks.
o Write on the index label before attaching it on floppy disk jacket or use a
soft-tipped instrument such as a felt-tipped pen. The floppy disk may become
scratched if a hard-tipped instrument such as a pencil or ball-point pen is
used.
o Do not place anything or use paper clips on floppy disks so that the jacket
will not become deformed.
o Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking around the floppy disks.
o Do not use floppy disks which have been contaminated by spilled liquids such
as coffee.
o Always keep the floppy disk in its protective envelope and vertically in its
storage box when not in use, This is to prevent problems caused by dust.
o Do not place floppy disks in direct sunlight or near heaters. The heat will
deform the jacket and make the floppy disk unusable.
o
Us~
floppy disks within the temperature range noted on the envelope. Since
the storage environment and operating environment may differ, leave' the
floppy disk(s) in the operating environment for
30-60
minutes before using.
o Properly insert floppy disks into the drive unit.
o Make sure to turn on the drive before inserting a floppy disk. If the floppy
disk is inserted while the power is off, the hub hole may become damaged
and errors may be generated.
