PRECAUTIONS
Like the rest of your computer system, your veloCD ReWriter requires 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. Dismantling the drive may expose you

entrust service to TDK-authorized service personnel only.

standard discs.
