Insert the floppy into the floppy drive slot with the label side up and the
metal-shutter end first. Gently push the floppy into the floppy drive slot
until the floppy clicks into place.

To remove a floppy, press the eject button until the floppy pops out.

Never force open the access shutter on a floppy.

Always remove a floppy from the floppy drive before turning off the
computer.

Never transport the computer with a floppy in the floppy drive. Doing so
can damage the drive head.

If a floppy appears to be damaged, try to make a copy of it, and
immediately discard it.

Keep all floppies, when not in use, in a disk storage box to protect them
from damage or loss.
