Yamaha 205M Manual Do Utilizador

 

• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off 

when the data is being written to the floppy disk. 
Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk 
drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; 
the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is 
fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not 

pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject 
properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-
pressed position with the disk extending from the 
drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do 
not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since 
using force in this situation can damage the disk drive 
mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially 
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, 
or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the 
eject procedure.

• Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive 

before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the 
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and 
dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument 

employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, 
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of 
magnetic particles from the disks used that will 
eventually cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order 

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-
available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the 
head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer 
about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

• Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk 

drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk 
drive or floppy disks.

 

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply 

pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy 
disks in their protective cases when they are not in 
use.

• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely 

high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust 
or liquids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed 

surface of the floppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as 

those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., 
since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase 
data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or 

housing.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels 

to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are 
attached in the proper location.

 

• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide 

the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position 
(tab open).

 

• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that 

you keep two copies of important data on separate 
floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost 
or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to 
Disk function on page 142.
