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 PlexWriter 4/12 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 PlexWriter 4/12 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 including 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-R and CD-ROM discs remain free of dirt or
other contaminants, your drive requires a disc caddy. Use only an industry
standard disc caddy or the tray/caddy adapter included with your drive. Do
not insert a warped or cracked disc caddy into the drive.
✓
Keep your CD-R and CD-ROM discs clean. See Chapter 10 for tips on
handling and cleaning 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.
