Rebooting the PC
Occasionally, you may have to reboot the PC. There are three ways to accomplish
this:
• Power ON/OFF switch ###V-EM-V### If the PC is OFF, you should set
the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. If the PC is already ON,itisprefer-
able to reset it using one of the following two methods:
• RESET button ###V-EM-V### Not all PCs have a RESET button, but if
yours does, it provides an easy way to reset the PC (also known as a hard
reset). Alternatively, the following method may work.
• Hold down the CTRL, ALT,andDELETE keys all at the same time (also
known as a soft reset).
If RESET or CTRL, ALT,andDEL keys are not effective, turn OFF the PC, wait a few
seconds, and turn it back ON. Rebooting the PC clears all data you had in random
access memory. If the time of day clock is not indicating the current time and date,
set the time of day clock.
Diskettes — Care and Handling
Diskettes are sometimes called floppy disks, or floppies for short. Diskettes are
similar to cassette tapes—magnetically encoded information is stored on the diskette
for later retrieval. By adhering to the following guidelines you will increase the useful
life of your diskettes:
DO:
— Keep the diskette in a protective envelope when not in use.
— Keep the diskette in a dry place.
— Keep the diskettes away from magnetic fields or objects (for example, magnetic
screwdriver.)
DO NOT:
— Touch any of the exposed surfaces of the diskette itself; handle it by the edge of
the jacket. Very tiny scratches, fingerprints, or dust can ruin a diskette.
— Bend a diskette.
— Write on a diskette label with a ball point pen or pencil. Use a felt-tipped pen
instead. Write the label before applying it to the diskette if possible.
— Erase the diskette label with a pencil eraser. The dust may destroy the diskette.
Instead, place a new label over the old one.
