INSTALLATION rn Each computer is carefully adjusted and strictly inspected before it leaves the factory. Correct installation is extremely important to maintain the high degree of reliability and performance in-built in the machine. Note the following recommendations: 1. Ensure the line voltage is within the voltage marked on the outside of the systems unit. 2. To maintain data integrity, the computer should be operated in an electrical environment not subject to large voltage transients on the line. A normal office supply is perfectly adequate. Avoid close proximity with heavy industrial machinery such as presses, arc welders, etc. 3.
Ensure the operating temperature is not exceeded, and that the temperature of the machine is allowed to stabilise (for approximately 30 mins.) if it is moved from one extreme to another. 4. Do not obstruct any of the ventilation grills. 5. Under no circumstances must any liquid be allowed to enter any of the units. 6. Operating the machine in an abnormally dusty atmosphere will substantially reduce the life of the disk drive and the media. 7. The plastic case of the machine can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Under no circumstances use an abrasive cleanser or solvent. 8. Although the Sony micro floppy disks are extremely robust, a few precautions will ensure a long and trouble-free life:
(i) Keep auto shutter closed at all times. (ii) Never touch the oxide surface. (iii) Do not exceed their temperature range (IO°C to 60°C). (iv) Do not expose the disks to any magnetic field. (v) Do not attempt to clean the disk surface. This may result in damage to the disk drive heads.
