Precautions

1.To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this appliance to rain or moisture.

2. Always check each disc for cracks before using it. If there are
cracks on the surfaces, especially around the border of the
center hole, we recommend that you make a copy of the disc
immediately and then stop using it. If you continue using the
disc, it will probably develop more cracks and eventually cause
irreparable damage.
