The drive you have just purchased includes a laser diode device, which classifies it as a “Laser Class I” product. 

This laser is not dangerous for the user under normal operating conditions. However, we strongly advise you not 

to place any reflective objects in the disc loading system, due to the risk of exposure to laser emissions that may 

be reflected by such objects.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to use your Amacom drive safely and correctly. Following these 

guidelines will help to avoid the possibility of personal injury to yourself or others, as well as to prevent damage to 

your device and other computer equipment. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Health and Safety Precautions:

NOTE: Your drive is equipped with laser diodes. Due 

to the possibility of potentially dangerous laser radiation, 

only qualified persons are authorized to carry out 

maintenance on this device.

Read this User Manual carefully, and    

 

ensure that you follow the instructions   

 

correctly when setting up the device.
Do not look directly or indirectly at the laser  

 

diode, even when the device is not in operation.
Do not open your drive or attempt to disassemble 

or modify it. This will invalidate your warranty.
Never insert any metallic object into the drive, as 

this may present a risk of electrical shock, fire or 

short-circuiting.
Amacom’s products contain no user-serviceable 

parts. If your product appears to be malfunctioning, 

you must return it to Amacom to be inspected by 

a qualified Amacom representative.
Never expose your device to rain or use it near 

water or in damp or wet conditions.
Never place containers on it containing liquids, 

which may spill into its openings.

P R E C A U T I O N S 

 

Do not expose the drive to temperatures 

outside the range 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 

104° F). Doing so may damage the drive.

 

Avoid placing your drive near a source of 

heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through 

a window).

 

Always unplug the drive from the electrical 

outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will 

not be used for an extended period of time.

 

Use only interface cables and mains 

adapters supplied by Amacom 

Technologies Limited, as otherwise 

damage may occur to your drive and/or 

your computer, invalidating your warranty.

 

Do not place heavy objects on top of the 

drive or use excessive force on its buttons, 

connectors and tray.

 

Always place your drive in a horizontal 

position on a flat, stable surface and away 

from the edge of the desk before using it.

 

Always remove the media from the disc 

tray before transporting your drive.

 

Never use excessive force on the disc 

loading system; discs should be inserted 

effortlessly into your drive.

 

Protect your drive from excessive exposure 

to dust during use or storage.

 

Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth if you need 

to clean the outside of the drive. Use of 

chemical cleaning agents or abrasive 

cloths may cause damage to the drive.

Note: The drive’s warranty may be invalidated as a result of failure to follow the precautions listed above.
