5) Cleaning the floppy disk drive
If
foreign particles adhere on the head
of
the floppy disk drive, an error may occur when reading or saving data on
the floppy disk.
When reading
or
saving the data
on
the floppy disk cannot be done normally, clean the floppy disk drive using a
cleaning disk. The cleaning disk which is sold by the shops handling the personal computer needs to
be
purchased
by the customer.
Although the cleaning frequency differs depending on the drive use and environment, the cleaning needs to be done
every 6 months.
<Procedures>
1.
Set the cleaning disk into the floppy disk drive.
2. Push the data reading button.
3.
When
an error message "DISK IS NOT FORMATTED PRESS ESC KEY" appears, the cleaning is finished.
Push the reset button to cancel the error.
4.
After checking that the access lamp
of
the floppy disk drive is OFF, take out the cleaning disk.
(Note)
The
cleaning time is listed on the cleaning disk. Measure the time until the error message is displayed.
When
the time measured is shorter than the cleaning time listed, repeat this operation to approach to the
time listed.
Example) When using the cleaning disk with a cleaning time
of
10 seconds
If
the time until the error message is displayed is 3 seconds, repeat the cleaning operation 3
times.
<Precautions when using>
There
are
2 types
of
cleaning disks, dry and wet.
When
doing the periodic maintenance, use wet type disk.
Usually dry type disk is said to shorten the floppy disk drive life as it shaves the head
of
the floppy disk drive. But
when
the
error is displayed during the normal operation even when doing the periodic maintenance, use the dry
type disk.
For the detailed information about the cleaning time and cleaning procedures, please refer to the instructions for
the cleaning disk.
[Handling
of
the liquid crystal display]
The
liquid crystal display (LCD) is used for the message indication
on
the operation stand. Please be careful
of
the
following points.
1.
Never
put
anything
on
the display surface
or
place strong shocks on it.
2.
Due
to the properties
of
the LCD, there may be times when an area
of
the
LCD
always lights
or
goes off.
(However, this does not indicate trouble.)
3.
If
the
same
message is displayed for a long period, the reflection may be slightly left
on
the display.
If
this happens,
turn the
power
OFF
once and after a few minutes, turn the power
ON
again, and the display should return to the
normal condition.
