Usage Precautions
Do not place items other than discs on the tray.
Do not leave the tray in the open position or touch the lens.
Under some conditions, dust may build up on the lens, or on a disc. This may result in a
read or write malfunction.
Do not apply excessive force to the tray in the open position, doing so could damage the tray.
Do not open the drive or move the computer while the drive is being accessed.
Doing so could cause it to malfunction.
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, do not open the drive
or remove the disc until the application has been closed.
After the tray closes or the computer resumes operation from the standby/hibernation
modes, do not access the drive until the multimedia pocket device status indicator
goes
off. However, when conducting a background format on +RW using B’s CLiP, the media
can be removed by operating B’s CLiP even when the drive is being accessed. (

Do not expose the drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, i.e. oil smoke, or
tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive lens.
We recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses. (Do not
use any spray-type of lens cleaning products.)
Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the drive. Doing so could cause it to
malfunction.
Do not use any discs that have become deformed, warped, or are not completely round.
In the case of DVD-RAM, only non-cartridge discs or removable cartridge discs can be
used.
For AutoPlay CDs:
• If an AutoPlay CD does not start after the computer resumes from the standby or hiber-
nation modes, remove the disc from the drive, then reinsert the disc again after a 15
second wait.
• An AutoPlay CD may start during file access, depending on the status of the disc.
