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 , you ha ve to enter the data after putting it into 1.2MB for mat in advance with this computer.

HD mark or no mark

Neither dismantle the wireless mouse nor remove any part from it. If it is done so, it may cause fire or electric shock.

Don’t cover or wrap the wireless mouse with cloth or other thing. If done so, the mouse becomes hot because of poor radiation of heat and it may cause deformation of the cover

and breakout of fire. Use the wireless mouse in a well-ventilated condition. Don’t insert or drop a metallic particle, flammable thing or foreign substance into the wire-

less mouse. If there is a foreign substance inside the wireless mouse, it may cause a fire. Don’t put the wireless mouse on a slant or unstable plane or in a place where it is easily

affected by strong vibration. If the mouse falls down, it may cause damage to the mouse or injury to a person.

Don’t give a strong shock or vibration to the wireless mouse , otherwise the mouse ma y f all into failure.

Don’t clean the wireless mouse with thinner or benzene, or don’t spray insecticide or the like to it. Such the chemical may cause the mouse to crack or catch fire.

Preparation and Preliminary knowledge

Loading of batteries

Load the wireless mouse with two AAA-size alkaline batteries ref erring 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 operating 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.
