Precautions
Like the rest of your computer system, your PlexWriter requires reasonable care in
its installation and use.
•
Keep the area around your drive clean from dust, smoke, and other contaminants.
•
Do not allow moisture or liquids, including water or cleaning fluids, to touch the
drive. Thinner, benzene, or alcohol-based solvents can mar your drive’s surface.
•
Do not drop or jolt the drive.
•
Do not attempt to open the drive and service it yourself. Removing the cover may
expose you to harmful electrical voltages or the laser beam. For your safety,
entrust service to Plextor-authorized service personnel only.
•
Keep your CD discs free of dirt or other contaminants, by storing them in jewel
cases. Use only industry-standard discs. Do not insert dirty, warped, poorly
balanced, or cracked discs into the drive.
•
Do not clean discs using a circular motion. Instead, use a radial motion: start at
the center of the disc and proceed to the outer edge.
CAUTION: Install your PlexWriter horizontally. Plextor does not guarantee the drive’s
performance in a vertical position.
