1 DESCRIPTION 1 
. FLOPPY DISKETTES CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE TIME REQUIRED FOR ODDB BACKUP AND LOADING. 
. AN EPSON TF-20 FLOPPY DISKETTE DRIVE UNIT IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH PORTABLE MAINTENANCE PANEL. 
. SAVING AND LOADING OPERATING PROCEDURE IS SIMILAR TO PROCEDURE FOR PMP MICROCASSETTES. 
. ONE SAVE FLOPPY DISKETTE CAN HOLD ONE COMPLETE OMNI SBCS DATA BASE BACKUP USING A SEQUENTIAL FILE. 
. SAVE FLOPPY DISKETTE MUST BE INITIALIZED OR HAVE BEEN USED PREVIOUSLY FOR A BACKUP OPERATION. SAVE 
DATA ON DISKETTE USED PREVIOUSLY WILL BE WRITTEN OVER BY NEW BACKUP DATA. 
1. TO CONFIGURE AND CONNECT TF-20 FLOPPY DISKETTE DRIVE TO PORTABLE MAINTENANCE PANEL: 
. ENSURE THAT PMP IS EQUIPPED WITH EXPANSION RAM (EXPANSION UNIT HSOEU). 
. SET BIT 4 OF PMP’S DIP SWITCH TO ON. DIP SWITCH IS LOCATED WELL INSIDE AND TO LEFT AS VIEWED WHEN 
OPENING LID OF BOTTOM PANEL. 
. ENSURE THAT PMP AND TF-20 POWER SWITCHES ARE OFF BEFORE INSERTING OR REMOVING CONNECTORS. 
. USING A NUMBER 707 CABLE, CONNECT THE PMP SERIAL INTERFACE CONNECTOR TO THE TF-20 TOP (6- PIN) 
SERIAL INTERFACE CONNECTOR LOCATED ON REAR OF TF-20. 
. PMP CAN NOW BE CONNECTED TO OMNI SBCS PORT WITH RS-232-C CONNECTOR. 
2. TO OPERATE FLOPPY DISKETTE UNIT - 
FIRST POWER ON TF-20 FLOPPY DISKETTE DRIVE: 
. ENSURE THAT PUSHBUTTON IS OFF. 
. INSERT FLOPPY DISKETTE INTO DISKETTE DRIVE. 
. ALWAYS TURN TF-20 POWER SWITCH ON BEFORE TURNING PMP POWER SWITCH TO ON. WHEN DISCONNECTING, 
TURN PMP POWER SWITCH OFF, THEN TURN TF-20 POWER SWITCH TO OFF.

PROCEDURE (CONTINUED) 
TO LOAD FLOPPY DISKETTE: 
. ENSURE THAT PUSHBUTTON IS OFF. 
0 INSERT FLOPPY DISKETTE INTO DRIVE, WITH WRITE-PROTECTION NOTCH UP (STANDARD LABEL AT RIGHT). 
. PUSH FLOPPY DISKETTE IN UNTIL A CLICK IS HEARD AND EJECT LOCK LEVER POPS OUT. 
. SLOWLY DEPRESS PUSHBUTTON TO TURN DRIVE ON. 
TO EJECT FLOPPY DISKETTE: 
. ENSURE THAT DRIVE SELECT LED IS OFF FOR DRIVE CONTAINING FLOPPY DISKETTE. IF STILL ON, INPUT 
CLOSE OR RESET COMMAND. 
0 DEPRESS PUSHBUTTON UNTIL IT POPS INTO OFF POSITION. FLOPPY DISKETTE WILL BE EJECTED 2 TO 3 CM. 
. SLOWLY REMOVE FLOPPY DISKETTE FROM DRIVE. 
4. TO START PMP WITH FLOPPY DISKETTE DRIVE UNIT: 
. TURN TF-20 POWER SWITCH ON. 
l INSERT TF-20 SYSTEM DISKETTE (EPSON TF-20 DISK BASIC) INTO DRIVE A SLOT OF TF-20. 
ENSURE THAT DRIVE SELECT LED BLINKS TO INDICATE THAT DISK OPERATING SYSTEM (DOS) IS STARTING. 
. TURN PMP POWER SWITCH ON. ENSURE THAT DRIVE SELECT LED BLINKS AGAIN, TO INDICATE THAT 
DISKETTE BASIC HAS BEEN BOOTED ON THE PMP.

7. TO LOAD OFFICE DEPENDENT DATA BASE FROM FLOPPY DISKETTE: 
e PUT PMP INTO COMMAND MODE. 
. ENTER CMC-902 (SVR 1.5.X.X.) OR CMC-702 (SVR 1.0.2.2). 
. AT PARAMETER 1, ENTER: LOAD AND PRESS ADD/CHANGE PROGRAM FUNCTION KEY. 
@ INSERT FLOPPY DISKETTE WITH BACKUP OF DATA BASE INTO DRIVE B OF TF-20 UNIT. ALSO 
ENSURE THAT A BLANK FLOPPY DISKETTE IS IN DRIVE A.
