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 DVD-ROM drive or move the computer while the DVD-ROM 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 DVD-ROM 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 DVD-ROM Drive Pack to oily or tobacco smoke. Doing so could shorten the service life of the lens.

• Cleaning the DVD-ROM drive using a CD lens cleaner (except a liquid type cleaner) is

recommended if it malfunctions.

• Do not use discs that have become deformed (warped, not completely round, etc.).

• The playback of CDs containing moving pictures (Video CDs. CDs including MPEG

data, etc.) may not be smooth.

• If an AutoPlay CD does not start after the computer resumes from the standby or hiber nation mode, we recommend reinserting the CD again after a 15-second wait.

• An AutoPlay CD may start during the access of a file.

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 bail-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.
