SREV1—Owner’s Manual
Handling CD-ROMs
•
Use only discs of the type specified in this
Owner’s Manual
.
•
The CD-ROM drive is for use with data discs only. Never insert audio CDs.
•
Store discs in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.
•
Always store discs in their cases.
•
When handling discs, be careful not to touch the surface. Hold discs by the edge. Fin-
gerprints, smudges, scratches, or dirt can affect performance.
•
Be careful not to scratch the labeled side of the disc. Even scratches on that side can
affect performance.
•
Fingerprints and dust should be removed by wiping gently from the center of the disc
towards the disc edge, using a soft, dry cloth. Never wipe in a circular motion and never
rub a disc hard with a dry cloth.
•
For stubborn stains and dirt, use a cleaning kit designed specifically for use with CDs.
Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth.
•
For disc marking, use only pens specifically designed for writing on CDs and write only
on the designated area. Do not attach a label to a disc.
•
If a disc is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer
environment, or if the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form on the disc
surface, which may affect performance. In this case, the disc should be allowed to accli-
matize for about one hour before use.
•
Do not under any circumstances attempt to use discs that are cracked or warped. Doing
so may seriously damage the unit.
Handling PC Cards
•
Use only PC Cards of the type specified in this
Owner’s Manual
.
•
Some PC Cards and PC Card adapters cannot be used with the SREV1.
•
Do not eject a PC Card while the activity indicator is lit. Doing so may cause data lose.
•
Store PC Cards in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.
•
Always store PC Cards in their cases.
Precautions for Transportation
During transportation, keep the CD-ROM door shut with tape, or a pad, or the like.
•
When using tape, use tape that adheres well to the front panel.
•
When using a pad, use a pad stiff enough that the elasticity holds the tray in place.
