What is a Floppy Disk?
A floppy disk is a medium for storing programs or data. This item explains basic knowledge
and precautions regarding floppy disks.
Types of floppy disks
If floppy disks are classified according to the amount of data they can store (the memory
capacity), typically there are the following 2 types.
•2HD floppy disks
These have 1.44MB (megabyte: unit of data
amount) and 1.2MB memory capacities.
• 2DD floppy disks
These have 720KB (kilobyte) memory
capacities, half of the 2HDs.
The differences between the 2 kinds of floppy
disks are shown in the diagram on the right.
3 mode drive
This computer’s floppy disk drive is a 3 mode drive that can read 1.44MB, 1.2MB and 720KB
memory capacity floppy disks. Therefore it can read nearly all floppy disks. However, when
exchanging data with another computer, you have to be careful if the other computer’s floppy
disk drive is not a 3 mode drive. For example, if the other computer can read 1.2MB floppy
disks but not 1.44MB floppy disks, y ou hav e to enter the data after putting it into 1.2MB f ormat
in advance with this computer.
HD mark or no mark

Precautions on Handling
Take the following precautions when using floppy disks in order to avoid damaging them.
Be careful not to spill liquids such
as coffee onto them.
Never touch the surface of the
disk.
Do not place them in places with
high temperatures or in direct
sunlight.
Do not bring them near to
magnetic fields.
Do not bend them or place heavy
objects on top of them.

Do not bend it or place heavy objects on it.
Do not write with a ballpoint pen, pencil, etc. on
the label surface (printed side).
If you suddenly move the CD-ROM from a cold place such as outside to a warm place,
condensation will form on the surface and the CD-ROM drive will be unab le to read data. If this
happens, wipe the CD-ROM with a dry soft cloth, and then allow it to dry naturally. Do not use
anything like a hairdryer, etc. to dry it.
Critical Points
If the CD-ROM gets dirty , wipe it clean with a dry soft cloth from the center outwards. Do not
wipe it with benzine, paint thinner, water, record spray, antistatic solution or silicon cloth.
A CD-ROM is a ROM that stores computer data
instead of the audio data stored on music CDs
(compact disks).
ROM stands for Read Only Memory, which
means it is a memory medium that can only read
data and cannot write data later. The CD-ROMs
which are marked as in the diagram on the right
can be used with this computer.
A little time is required after installing a CD-ROM until the computer recognizes it.

Preparation and Preliminary knowledge
Loading of batteries
Load the wireless mouse with two AAA-size alkaline batteries referring to the article “Replacing
batteries” of this manual.
H-L-OFF switch
Infrared transmission power of this wireless
mouse can be switched between low and high
with the H-L-OFF switch. Set this switch to the
H (High power mode) or L (Low power mode)
position taking the operating environment and
conditions into consideration. When this mouse
is out of use, set this switch to the OFF position
for saving battery power.
Operating method
This wireless mouse transmits data on mouse operation to the personal computer on infrared
rays. When operating the wireless mouse, point its transmitter part at the photosensor of the
personal computer. The oper ating method of this wireless mouse is the same as the general PS/
2 mouse.
It is recommended to use this wireless mouse within a distance of 1.5 m (High power mode) or
0.5 m (Low power mode) from the personal computer.
Critical Points
The one-touch operation buttons cannot be
used in the following cases.
The illustration of a personal computer
appearing on this page is just a reference.
The outward appearance slightly differs with
the model. Bef ore using this wireless mouse,
check the personal computer for the location
of the photosensor for the wireless mouse.

Setup of personal computer and wireless mouse
Setup of personal computer
See Bios section to enable infrared mouse. Ensure that the setup menu is Enabled.
Critical Points
When “enabled” is selected for the item of “Infrared mouse”, the external PS/2 mouse that is
connected with the extension keyboard/mouse connector is unusable. Furthermore, set the
item of “Built-in pointing device” of the “Setup of keyboard/mouse” submenu of the “Detailed
menu” to “Always enabled”.
Identification of mouse
If multiple wireless mice are used close to each other, it is needed to identify every wireless
mouse with an individual identification code to avoid radio interference. For identify a wireless
mouse, open the lid of the battery chamber on the bottom of the mouse and set an identification
number with the DIP switch (refer to the table below).
For turning on/off each
element of the DIP switch,
use a pointed stick such as
a ball-point pen or the like.
On shipping a wireless mouse from the factory, its identification number is set at “7”.
When the identification number of a wireless mouse is changed, turn off the personal
computer once and again turn it on, or suspend the personal computer and resume it to make
it recognize the new identification number of the mouse.
The personal computer recognizes the identification code of a wireless mouse when it
receives a signal of the identification code for the first time after it is turned on or resumed.
64
Replacing batteries
1 Remove the lid of the battery chamber.
3 Set new batteries in the battery chamber.
Pay heed to the polarities (+ and - poles) of
each battery so as to set it in correct
orientation.
2 Remove the old batteries.
4 Fit the lid of the battery chamber to
the wireless mouse.
CAUTION
Check the orientation (directions of + and - poles) of each battery so that it is correctly set
in the battery chamber.
Don’t use a used battery mixedly with a new battery or two new batteries that are different
in brand or rating from each other.
When the wireless mouse won’t be used for a long time, remo v e the batteries to pre vent it
from trouble such as leak of electrolyte. If electrolyte leaks from the battery , clean the inside
of the battery chamber, particularly metal terminals, and its periphery with soft cloth that is
moistened with water once and then tightly squeezed to remove electrolyte, and carefully
wipe out moisture with dry soft cloth.
When you get electrolyte on your body, carefully wash it out with water. If electrolyte gets
into your eyes or mouth, immediately w ash it out with water and consult a doctor as soon as
possible.
Be careful not to make a short-circuit between terminals of the battery chamber.
Don’t put any battery in water or fire. Don’t take any battery apart to pieces.
Don’t charge the battery of this wireless mouse.
Don’t directly solder the battery.
