Roland HP 38006 - Page 9

IMPORTANT NOTES
The HP 3800G/2800G uses 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD flop-
py disks (sometimes called “microfloppies”). They are
used to store the song you record on the HP
3800G/2800G.
* Please use 2HD disks whenever possible. This is
because the data access speed of a 2DD disk is some-
what slower than that of a 2HD, and this may on rare
occasions cause playback errors. And song selecton or
song position displays may be delayed slightly.
1. Inserting a Disk
To insert a disk, push it firmly (but gently) into the
drive: label side up — it will click into place.
+ Make sure the disk is correctly inserted before trying to
use it!
2. Removing a Disk
To remove a disk, press the EJECT button firmly.

4. Handling Floppy Disks
* Floppy disks contain a magnetic storage medium (much
like magnetic recording tape). Please observe the fol-
lowing when handling floppy disks:
Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.
Do not subject floppy disks to temperature extremes
(eg., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle).
Recommended temperature range: 10 to 50°C,
Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic fields,
such as those generated by loudspeakers.
+ Floppy disks contain a ‘write protect’ tab which can
protect the disk from accidental erasure, It is recom-
mended that the tab be kept in the ‘PROTECT™ position
and moved to the ‘WRITE’ position only when you
wish to write new data onto the disk.

¢ All important data should be copied onto backup
disk(s), This provides a complete duplicate of the data
should the original disk(s) be lost or damaged.
* The identification label should be firmly fixed to the
disk. Should the label come loose while the disk is in
the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.
* Put the disk back into its case for storage.
