❖
Keep the computer and disks away from objects that
generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo
speakers.
Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a
magnet too close to a disk can erase important files.
Handle discs carefully. Avoid touching the surface of the disc.
Grasp it by its center hole and edge. If you handle the disc
incorrectly, you could damage the disc and possibly lose data.
❖
Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you
receive via email or download from the Internet.
Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a
supplier may contain a computer virus. You need a
special program to check for viruses. Ask your dealer to
help you.

Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note
the cautions included in the text of the manual. Please also
