Precautions
YOUR TASK:
Read the list of precautions below.
YOUR OBJECTIVE:
Avoid any undo harm coming to you or your drive.
YOUR METHOD:
Review the list and use common sense.
Your new CD-ROM drive is a precision electromechanical device. Like the rest of
your computer system, it requires reasonable care in its installation and use.
Please read this manual carefully
and keep it handy for easy reference. Use this
manual for installation, operation, and troubleshooting. See your dealer, or call
Plextor’s Technical Support Department, should your drive require repair or service.
✗
Do not put your computer monitor (or any other device weighing more than
30 lbs.) on top of the UltraPleX external drive.
✗
Do not place your drive in direct sunlight, on heating units, or near electrical
appliances that draw large amounts of current, such as a high-powered audio
amplifier, microwave oven, toaster, hair dryer, etc.
✓
Keep the area around your drive clean from dust, smoke, and other
contaminants.
✓
Use a soft, dust-free cloth for cleaning your drive. Do not allow moisture or
liquids such as water, cleaning fluids, or solvents to touch the drive. Thinner,
benzene, or alcohol-based solvents can mar your drive’s surface.
✓
To help ensure that your CD-ROM discs remain free of dirt or other
contaminants, they should be stored in a jewel case. Use only an industry
standard disc. Do not insert a warped, poorly balanced, or cracked disc or
caddy into the drive.
✓
Keep your CD-ROM disc clean. See Chapter 10 for tips on handling and
cleaning CD-ROM discs.
✗
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.
