Inserting and removing diskettes
To insert a diskette in the computer's diskette drive:
1 Hold the diskette so that the arrow on its upper surface points
toward the drive.
2 Insert the diskette into the drive.
When the diskette is in place, the eject button pops out.
To remove a diskette from the drive, push the eject button.
Caring for diskettes
♦ Store your diskettes in their boxes or other containers to protect
them and keep them clean.
♦ Don't slide back the protective metal cover.
♦ Don't touch the magnetic surface of a diskette. Fingerprints
can prevent the drive from reading the data stored on a disk.
♦ Don't twist or bend a diskette.
♦ Keep diskettes at room temperature and don't expose them to
direct sunlight. Otherwise, data may be lost.
♦ Don't place heavy objects on your diskettes.
♦ Don't eat, smoke, or use erasers near diskettes. Foreign parti
cles can damage the diskette's surface.
♦ Keep diskettes away from sources of magnetism, such as
speakers and radios, since these can destroy data.
♦ If the diskette case is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth moistened
in water. Don't use cleaning fluids.
