To write-protect a floppy disk
To prevent data on a floppy disk from

it.

write-protect tab as illustrated below.

Handling notes
Make sure that you take the following
precautions when handling floppy disks
to ensure the safety of your data.
• Do not place floppy disks close to
strong magnetic fields such as those
generated by speakers or televisions,
as this could cause loss of data.
• Do not place floppy disks close to
heat sources or in direct sunlight as
this may warp the floppy disk,
making it unusable.
• Do not open the floppy disk shutter
or touch the disk surface. Dirt or
scratches on the disk surface may
make reading and writing
impossible.
• Avoid dropping liquids on floppy
disks.
• To protect important data, remove
floppy disks from the drive and store
them in a case when they are not
being used.
