Protected not protected
If this is the first time you use a Floppy Disk and do not feel comfortable
about handling such delicate magnetic aids, read this section very carefully.
INSERTING A FLOPPY DISK INTO THE DRIVE
Floppy Disks are inserted in the disk drive with the lablel side up, and the
metallic shutter first in. Push the disk smoothly and firmly until it clicks into
place.
Hold the disk straight and avoid forcing it in while inserting.
EJECTING A FLOPPY DISK
Before ejecting a Floppy Disk, make sure that the operation led in the drive is
OFF, and that WK1 Or display shows no disk operation being in progress.
To extract the Disk, press the eject button and remove the disk.
DISK PROTECTION
Floppy disks feature a protection tab that safeguard valuable data and prevent
accidental cancellation.
To remove the protection and be able to write on the disk, slide the plastic
tab upwards, closing the hole.
To protect the Floppy Disk so that it is not possible to erase or overwrite the
contents, slide the plastic tab downwards, opening the hole.
You can use a pen or a pointed object to slide the tab.
HANDLING FLOPPY DISKS
Floppy Disks should be handled with great care, to prevent damage or loss
of data.
1. Never open the metal protection shutter or touch the soft surface of the
Floppy Disk.
2. Never leave a Floppy Disk inside WK1 Or disk drive when you carry the
keyboard around. Vibrations may cause the drive head to scratch the
disk and make it useless.
3. Never place Floppy Disks in proximity of TV sets, computer monitors,
amplifier, loudspeakers, power transformers or other device which is a
potential source of magnetic field. The disk contents could be seriously
damaged or lost.
4. Never leave the disks in extremely warm or cold places. Do not expose
them to direct sunlight. Protect them from dust or dirt.
5. Do not place objects on top of a Floppy Disk.
6. Always return a Floppy Disk in a protective case after use.
