Never
touch a
diskette's exposed
shiny
surfaces.
Never turn the computer on
or off while a
diskette is in
a
drive. Doing so
can destroy
data.
Never leave
a
diskette inserted in
a
drive
—
either fully or
partially
—
when the computer is
off.
Do not insert or
remove
a
diskette while the
drive light
is on,
unless
the
"Diskette?"
mes-
sage
is displayed.
Keep diskettes away
from heat, direct sunlight,
dust, cigarette ashes,
other particles, and
magnetic
fields
(such as
transformers, AC
motors, magnets, TVs,
radios,
and
the com-
puter's display console).
Do not
bend diskettes.
After attaching
a
label
to a
diskette, do
not
write
on the
label with
a
ball
point pen
or lead
pencil.
Use a
felt-tip pen only.
Always
put
the diskette back in its protective
envelope after
use.
Store
diskettes
in
an upright position, never in
a
stack. Never place anything on
a
diskette.
We recommend that
you
keep your diskettes
either
in the manual in which they came or in
a diskette storage box, such as those avail-
able
at your Radio Shack store.
Write Protecting
a
Diskette
Inside
your
Disk System Owner's Manual is
a
diskette labeled "TRSDOS and BASIC Inter-
preter." You'll find
a
foil, adhesive tab with this
diskette. Cover the diskette's "write-protect
notch" with the foil tab. (Do not pinch the tab
into the notch.)
