Protecting data in floppy disks
Write-protection is available for a floppy disk to prevent undesired data deletion.
A write-protected disk is read-only. It is recommended to provide write-protection for disks which
contain important data.
To do so, slide the write-protect notch to open the slot as shown below.
Slide the notch in this direction to
prevent data loss or overwriting.
Slide the notch in this direction to write data.
Setting a Floppy Disk to the Floppy Disk Drive
Insert a floppy disk straight into the slot. The label side of the dis k must face the front.
Press the eject switch to remove the disk out of the drive.
Do not press the eject switch during the access lamp is lit. This may lead to data corruption.
