Memory

Backup

©

This

unit

contains

a

battery

which

powers

the

unit’s

memory

cir-

cuits

while

the

main

(AC)

power

is

off.

The

expected

life

of

this

battery

is

5

years

or

more.

However,

to

avoid

the

untimely

loss

of

memory

data,

it

is

strongly

recommended

that

you

change

the

battery

every

5

years.

Please

be

aware

that

the

actual

life

of

the

battery

will

depend

upon

the

physical

environment

—

especially

the

temperature

—

in

which

the

unit

is

used.

When

it

is

time

to

change

the

battery,

consult

with

qualified

service

personnel.

*

When

the

battery

becomes

weak

the

following

message

will

appear

in

the

display:

“Battery

Low!”.

Please

change

the

battery

as

soon

as

possible

to

avoid

the

loss

of

memory

data.

Before

Using

Disks

Handling

the

drive

¢

Install

the

unit

on

a

solid,

level

surface

in

an

area

free

from

vibration.

If

the

unit

must

be

installed

at

an

angle,

be

sure

the

installation

falls

within

the

specified

range:

upward;

15°,

down-

ward;

5°.

Avoid

using

the

unit

in

areas

of

high

humidity

(eg.,

condensa-

tion).

High

levels

of

humidity

can

adversely

affect

the

operation

of

the

drive

and/or

damage

floppy

disks.

When

the

unit

has

been

transported,

allow

it

to

warm

to

room

temperature

before

operating.

To

insert

a

disk,

push

it

gently

but

firmly

into

the

drive

—

it

will

click

into

place.

To

remove

a

disk,

press

the

EJECT

button

firmly.

Do

not

use

excessive

force

to

remove

a

disk

which

is

lodged

in

the

drive.

¢

Never

attempt

to

remove

a

floppy

disk

from

the

drive

while

the

drive

is

operating

(the

indicator

is

brightly

lit);

damage

could

result

to

both

the

disk

and

the

drive.

*

Remove

any

disk

from

the

drive

before

powering

up

or

down.

Handling

Floppy

Disks

¢

Floppy

disks

contain

a

magnetic

storage

medium

(much

like

magnetic

recording

tape).

Please

observe

the

following

when

handling

floppy

disks:

-

Never

touch

the

magnetic

medium

inside

the

disk.

-

Do

not

subject

floppy

disks

to

temperature

extremes

(eg.,

direct

sunlight

in

an

enclosed

vehicle).

Recommended

temperature

range:

10

to

50°C.

-

Do

not

expose

floppy

disks

to

strong

magnetic

fields,

such

as

those

generated

by

loudspeakers.

Floppy

disks

contain

a

‘write

protect’

tab

which

can

protect

the

disk

from

accidental

erasure.

It

is

recommended

that

the tab

be

kept

in

the

‘PROTECT’

position

and

moved

to

the

‘WRITE’

posi-

tion

only

when

you

wish

to

write

new

data

onto

should

the
