Precautions

LaCie Dupli Disc CD125 User’s Manual

Health, Safety, Media and General Use Precautions

The CD duplicator you have just purchased includes a laser diode device, which classifies it as a "Laser Class I" product. This laser is not dangerous for the user under normal operating conditions. However, we strongly advise you not to place any reflective objects in the disc loading system due to the risk of exposure to laser emissions that may be reflected by such objects.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to use your LaCie duplicator safely and correctly. Respecting these guidelines will help to avoid the possibility of personal injury to yourself or others, as well as to prevent damage to your device and other computer equipment. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Health And Safety Precautions

• Read this User's Manual carefully, and follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.

• Do not look inside or place your hand over the open CD tray. Never look directly or indirectly (with a mirror) at the laser diode, even when the device is not in operation. If you expose your eyes or skin to the lasers inside your duplicator’s drives, you risk damage or loss of your vision or other personal injury.

• Do not open your duplicator or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Do not insert your fingers into the drives. Never insert any metallic object into the drives to avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your duplicator contains no user-serviceable parts. If it appears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by qualified LaCie service staff.

• Never expose your device to rain or chemical products, or use it near water or in damp or wet conditions. Never place containers on it containing liquids that may spill into its openings. Doing so increases the risk of electrical shock, shortcircuiting, fire or personal injury.

General Use Precautions

• Do not expose the device to temperatures outside the 5° C to 45° C (41° F to 104° F) range. Doing so may damage the device or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your drive near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your device in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.

• Always unplug the duplicator from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will not be used for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.

• Use only the power supply shipped with the device.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the duplicator or use excessive force on its buttons, connectors and tray. Doing so increases the risk of damage to the device.

• Always place your duplicator in a horizontal position before using it. Otherwise, it may fall, causing damage to the device and/or corruption or loss of data.

• Always remove any discs from the disc trays before transporting your duplicator. Otherwise, written data may be destroyed or the drives’ internal components may be damaged.

Page 7

Precautions

page 7

LaCie Dupli Disc CD125 User’s Manual

• Never use excessive force on the disc loading system; discs should be inserted effortlessly into your drives.

• Protect your duplicator from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build up inside the device, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.

• Never use benzene, paint thinners, detergent or other chemical products to clean the outside of the drive. Such products will disfigure and discolour the front panel and casing. Instead, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device.

• Never move the drive while it is operating. Always allow at least 30 seconds after spin down before moving the drive.

• Never close or lock the front door before the selected duplication, verification or erasing process is underway, as indicated on the LCD screen.

Media Precautions

• Do not use or store CD-ROM discs and blank CD-R/RW discs in places which are dirty or dusty; which are subject to extreme temperatures; which are warm, humid or favourable to condensation; or which are exposed to direct sunlight.

• Do not use cracked, warped or damaged discs.

• Do not touch or write on the disc’s reading/writing surface.

• Do not drop, bend, flex or place any heavy objects on the disc.

• Do not apply any disc labels that may come off inside the drive.

• Store discs in their protective sleeves or cases when they are not being used.

• Do not incinerate unwanted or unusable discs: discs that are no longer used should be disposed of properly according to local rules and regulations.

• Do not mix CD-R and CD-RW media when duplicating. When duplicating a master disc, use either only all CD-R or all CDRW media in the target drives. Otherwise, a duplication error will occur.

Caution!

The drive's warranty may be void as a result of the failure to respect the precautions listed above.

Caution!

LaCie duplicators have been designed for desktop CD and DVD duplication only and should not be con-

sidered either as a system suited to large-scale duplication or as an industrial CD/DVD duplicator.

1. Introduction

Your LaCie Dupli Disc CD125 is a smart and easy-to-use device dedicated CD duplication, bringing you the following features:

• One IDE CD-ROM drive of the latest generation with multi-read features;

• Five IDE CD-RW drives that can record almost any type of data on CD-R and CD-RW discs;

• A duplication controller that automatically recognizes the data format of the disc you have inserted in the CD-ROM drive;

• A sturdy casing with an integrated power supply.

As a true stand-alone duplication solution, your LaCie Dupli Disc CD125 is completely autonomous, requiring no software or computer to duplicate CDs. Its various functions allow you to make copies of a master disc at once for quick, easy duplication.

To ensure fail-proof duplication, the LaCie Dupli Disc CD125 provides a duplication Test function, allowing you to simulate a recording without actually recording to the blank disc. We recommend using this feature if you feel your master or target CD media may be scratched or damaged. This will help you to use your blank media more efficiently.

With its Verify and Compare functions, you can check that your duplicated media will be read properly and that your burned data have been duplicated correctly.

1.1. A few Words About Copyright Laws

Your new LaCie duplicator opens up a whole world of possibilities for copying data and audio onto disc. Please be responsible in your use of this wonderful technology. Before copying anything onto a CD-R or CD-RW discs, make sure you are not violating any copyright laws.

Most software companies allow licensed owners to make one (1) backup or archive copy of their software. Check your software's license agreement for specific details. Using these devices to duplicate more than one personal copy of CD-ROM, CD-DA (audio) CD software or any other CD protected by copyright is strictly prohibited. Copying audio CDs for distribution to third parties is illegal and punishable by law. LaCie cannot be held responsible for the inappropriate use of these devices.
