• 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

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.

• 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.

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.
