Precautions

Operation and storage conditions

Avoid using or storing the DVDirect in hot
or humid locations, or places where it might
be subject to severe vibration or direct
sunlight.

Transportation

• Please repack the DVDirect in its original

carton when shipping by itself.

• If the DVDirect is to be shipped, remove

any disc beforehand.

Moisture condensation

Do not expose the DVDirect to sudden
temperature changes. Do not use the
DVDirect immediately after moving it from
a cold to warm location or raising the room
temperature suddenly, as condensation may
have formed within the DVDirect. If the
temperature changes suddenly while using
the DVDirect, keep the power on, but stop
using it for at least an hour.

Handling discs

• Handle discs only by the edges. Never

touch the recording surface.

• Do not affix labels on discs.

• Do not store discs in dusty or humid

locations, in direct sunlight, or near heat-
generating devices.

• To protect important data, always keep

discs in their cases.

• Do not wipe writable discs using a disc

cleaner before recording data. Instead, use
a blower to remove any dust.

• Data may not be recorded properly if there

are scratches or dust on the unrecorded
area of writable discs. Handle discs very
carefully.

Handling memory cards

• Do not drop, bend, or submit the memory

cards to external shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify the memory

cards.

• Avoid touching the terminal of a memory

card or touching it with a metal object.

• Avoid getting liquids on a memory card or

using them in areas subject to high
humidity.

• Avoid using or storing a memory card in a

location subject to:
− extremely high temperature, such as the

interior of a car, outdoors exposed to
direct sunlight, or near a heater.

− direct sunlight

− high humidity

− corrosive substances

− excessive dust

− electrostatic or electronic noises

− magnetic fields

• When storing or carrying a memory card,

keep it in its original case to ensure
protection of important data.

• Avoid removing a memory card from its

slot or turning off the power button while
the DVDirect is accessing it, as data may
be rendered unreadable.
