Precautions
The CD duplicator 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 LaCie duplicator safely and
correctly. Respecting 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:
• Read this User's Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the
device.
• Do not look inside or place your hand over the open CD or DVD tray. Never look directly or
indirectly (with a mirror) at the laser diode, even when the device is not in operation. If you
expose your eyes or skin to the lasers inside your duplicator’s drives, you risk damage or
loss of your vision or other personal injury.
• Do not open your duplicator or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Do not insert your
fingers into the drives. Never insert any metallic object into the drives to avoid any risk of
electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your duplicator contains no
user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by qualified LaCie
service staff.
• Never expose your device to rain or chemical products, or use it near water or in damp or
wet conditions. Never place containers on it containing liquids that may spill into its openings.
Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, fire or personal injury.
General use precautions:
• Do not expose the device to temperatures outside the 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 104° F)
range. Doing so may damage the device 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
device in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.
• Always unplug the duplicator 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 duplicator or use excessive force on its buttons,
connectors and tray. Doing so increases the risk of damage to the device.
• Always place your duplicator 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 any discs from the disc trays before transporting your duplicator. Otherwise,
written data may be destroyed or the drives’ internal components may be damaged.
• Never use excessive force on the disc loading system; discs should be inserted effortlessly
into your drives.
• Protect your duplicator 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 discolour the front panel and casing.
Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.
