• When the write protect hole is open as shown in the illustration,
you can read the contents of the diskette, but you cannot write data
to or delete data from the diskette. After saving important data to
a diskette, be sure to open its write protect hole to protect the data
against accidental changes or deletion.
• The diskette that comes with the keyboard contains sample data
and programs. It is write protected to avoid accidental erasure or
formatting. Make sure you handle this diskette carefully to avoid
damaging or erasing its data.

Write Protection
IMPORTANT!
• You can write protect a diskette so data on it cannot be deleted and
no new data can be stored on the diskette. Also, a write protected
diskette cannot be formatted. You can read data from a diskette
regardless of whether or not it is write protected.
Floppy Disk Drive Features
The WK-1800 comes with a built-in disk drive, which provides you
with the capabilities described below.
• You can save sequencer and synthesizer data on a floppy diskette
for long-term storage. When you need the data again, simply in-
sert the diskette into the disk drive and load it.
• You can play back SMF (standard MIDI file) data created on a per-
sonal computer and saved to diskette.
• You can convert rhythm data saved to diskette from another make
of electronic musical instrument (Roland, Technics) and save it as
user rhythm data.
Floppy Diskette Precautions
IMPORTANT!
• Avoid the following locations when storing and using diskettes.
Any of the conditions noted below can cause data stored on the
diskette to become corrupted.
• Near TVs, on top of audio equipment, or in any area exposed to
magnetism. Take special care to keep diskettes away from any
source of magnetism.
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight, or subject to high humidity or
temperature extremes.
• Failure to observe any of the following precautions can cause data
stored on the diskette to become corrupted.
• Never try to take a diskette apart.
• Never open the shutter of the diskette or touch the film inside
with your fingers.
• Never bend a diskette or otherwise subject it to rough handling.
• Affix labels in the spaces provided only, and do not affix labels
on top of previous ones.
• Do not eject the diskette from the drive while the access lamp is lit
or flashing or turn off keyboard power with a diskette in the drive.
Doing either can cause data on the diskette to become corrupted
and can even cause malfunction of the disk drive.
• Never insert any foreign objects into the disk drive. Doing so can
cause it to malfunction.
• The disk drive uses a magnetic head. A dirty head cannot read data
from a diskette properly and can corrupt existing data on the dis-
kette. To avoid this, be sure to use a commercially available head
cleaning diskette to periodically clean the head.
• Do not use a computer, another electronic musical instrument, or
any other device to change a file name or file contents created with
this keyboard. Doing so can make the data unusable by this key-
board and even cause malfunction of the keyboard.
Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable
for any loss to you or any third party due to corruption or acci-
dental erasure of data on a diskette.
