• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold

separately). By connecting any other expression ped-

als, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to

the unit.

Before Using Floppy Disks

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive

• Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area

free from vibration. If the unit must be installed at

an angle, be sure the installation does not exceed the

permissible range: upward, 5°; downward, 35°.

• Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been

moved to a location with a level of humidity that is

greatly different than its former location. Rapid

changes in the environment can cause condensation

to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect

the operation of the drive and/or damage floppy

disks. When the unit has been moved, allow it to

become accustomed to the new environment (allow

a few hours) before operating it.

• To insert a disk, push it gently but firmly into the

drive—it will click into place. To remove a disk,

press the EJECT button firmly. Do not use excessive

force to remove a disk which is lodged in the drive.

• Never attempt to remove a floppy disk from the

drive while the drive is operating (the indicator is

brightly lit); damage could result to both the disk

and the drive.

• Remove any disk from the drive before powering up

or down.

• To prevent damage to the disk drive’s heads, always

try to hold the floppy disk in a level position (not

tilted in any direction) while inserting it into the

drive. Push it in firmly, but gently. Never use exces-

sive force.

Handling Floppy Disks

• Floppy disks contain a plastic disk with a thin coat-

ing of magnetic storage medium. Microscopic preci-

sion is required to enable storage of large amounts

of data on such a small surface area. To preserve

their integrity, please observe the following when

handling floppy disks:

- Never touch the magnetic medium inside the disk.

- Do not use or store floppy disks in dirty or dusty

areas.

- Do not subject floppy disks to temperature

extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehi-

cle). Recommended temperature range: 10 to 50° C

(50 to 122° F).

- Do not expose floppy disks to strong magnetic

fields, such as those generated by loudspeakers.

• Floppy disks have a “write protect” tab which can

protect the disk from accidental erasure. It is recom-

mended that the tab be kept in the PROTECT posi-

tion, and moved to the WRITE position only when

you wish to write new data onto the disk.

• The identification label should be firmly affixed to

the disk. Should the label come loose while the disk

is in the drive, it may be difficult to remove the disk.

• Put the disk back into its case for storage.

Handling and Installing the Wave Expansion Board

(SR-JV80 series)

• To avoid the risk of damage to internal components

that can be caused by static electricity, please care-

fully observe the following whenever you handle

the board.

- Before you touch the board, always first grasp a

metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure

that any static electricity you might have been car-

rying has been discharged.

- When handling the board, grasp it only by its

edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic com-

ponents or connectors.

• Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or

connection terminals.

• Never use excessive force when installing a circuit

board. If it doesn’t fit properly on the first attempt,

remove the board and try again.

• When circuit board installation is complete, double-

check your work.
