2/8 FT1200 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
Make sure that labels are secure before use and do not leave cassettes
in the drive when the computer is switched off or not in use.
Cleaning your drives
Cleaning a floppy drive
Do not insert cotton buds or other implements into the drive door.
If you think the drive needs cleaning, obtain a specialist cleaning kit
from a reputable supplier. It will come with instructions for its
correct use. It looks like a floppy disk, but has a special head
cleaning surface inside which removes dust and fluff from the
reading heads and the mechanism. They should be used only once
and then discarded.
Cleaning the CD-ROM
It is recommended that you occasionally use a specialist CD
cleaning disk to clean the lens in the drive as it may become dusty
and fail to operate. Similar rules apply as for the floppy drive.
Cleaning the DAT drive
The tape transport mechanism and the read/write head should be
inspected periodically for dust and debris. Full cleaning is
recommended after every 12 hours of use. As with floppy and CD
drives, a special cleaning cartridge is available from reputable
suppliers, which will be supplied with full instructions for use.
