General Use Precautions
page 4
General Use Precautions:
• 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 or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a
window). Inversely, placing your drive in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.
• 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. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.
• Use only the power supply shipped with the device.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on its buttons, connectors and tray. Doing so
increases the risk of damage to the device.
• Always place your drive in a horizontal position before using it. Otherwise, it may fall, causing damage to the device
and / or corruption or loss of data.
• Always remove the disc from the disc tray before transporting your drive. Otherwise, written data may be destroyed or the
drive's internal components may be damaged.
• Never use excessive force on the disc loading system; discs should be inserted effortlessly into your drive. If you detect a
problem, consult the
Troubleshooting
section.
• Protect your drive from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the device, increasing
the risk of damage or malfunction.
• Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the drive. Such products
will disfigure and discolor the front panel and casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.
