1 Diskette
This
unit
uses
a
5.25"
mini-disk
that
records on
both
sides
as
the
recording medium. Its external appearance
is
as
shown on the left.
It's
called a diskette and
is
a magnetic
sheet covered
by
a jacket.
2 Inserting a Diskette
1. Put a finger on the
bottom
of
the
front
door
and
lightly
put
this
door
toward you
to
open
it.
2.
With
the
label side up and
the
head
window
forward,
insert a diskette in the slot. There
is
no other way
to
insert a diskette correctly.
3.
Push
the diskette
lightly
until
it
stops and close the
front
door.
If
the diskette

force the
door
closed
but
re-insert the diskette correctly.
3 Write-protection Notch

the write-protection notch
of
the diskette
is
covered
with
a
seal
of
silver paper, etc.,
writing

is
possible. Some diskettes
supplied
by
Sharp

this part
covered
with
a
seal.
Never remove
it
because
it
prevents
trouble
from
improper operation.
Do

used
for
read/write operations
with
a
seal,
etc. or
