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 area. Should the lens
become soiled by dust or dirt, the unit may not read discs properly.
• Under some conditions, dust may build up on the optical lens or disc, possibly resulting in
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 after the application has been
closed.
• After closing the tray, do not attempt to access a disc until the MP indicator {(^) disap­
pears.
• Do not expose the drive to oily or tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the service life
of the lens.
• Cleaning the drive using a CD lens cleaner (except a liquid type cleaner) is recommended
if it malfunctions.
• Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the drive.
• Do not use discs that have become deformed (warped, not completely round, etc.).
• When the CD-R/RWdrive Pack is installed, do not use an external drive (CD-ROM drive,
DVD-ROM drive, etc.).
To avoid damaging discs;
• Do not touch the surface as it can cause the disc to become dirty or scratched.
• Do not allow discs to become dirty or scratched.
• Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.
• Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument.
• If the disc is brought from a cold into a warm environment, moisture may form on the
disc. Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.
• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.
• Cleaning the disc using a CD cleaner is recommended once every 2 or 3 months.
If the disc gets dirty
After wiping the disc with a moist, soft cloth, wipe it with a dry cloth. Always wipe from
the center toward the edge.
