Introduction

Précautions

Lors de l’installation

Evitez les endroits exposées à une humidité ou une température élevée, aux vibrations mécaniques et en plein soleil.

En cours de fonctionnement

• Faites fonctionner le lecteur uniquement sur une surface solide et plane.

• Ne déplacez pas le lecteur pendant son fonctionnement. Cela pourrait entraîner une défaillance.

• Évitez les variations brusques de température, il risquerait de se former de la condensation à l’intérieur du lecteur. En cas de changement soudain de la température ambiante, attendez au moins 1 heure avant d’éteindre l’unité. L’utilisation juste après un changement brusque de température risque de provoquer une panne.

Pendant le transport

• Conservez l‘emballage d‘origine pour transporter le lecteur.

• Vérifiez toujours que le lecteur est vide avant de le déplacer.

Mesures générales de sécurité

• Si un objet solide tombe dans l‘unité, débranchez-la et avant toute tentative d‘utilisation, faites-la inspecter par un personnel qualifié.

• Ne laissez aucun élément pénétrer dans la fiche 5V DC IN.

Au niveau des sources d‘alimentation

• Débranchez le cordon d‘alimentation uniquement par l‘extrémité de sa prise.

• Éteignez l‘unité du lecteur uniquement en débranchant le cordon d‘alimentation de la prise murale.

Au niveau de l‘unité du lecteur

• Évitez les sources de chaleur (notamment les véhicules fermés exposés en plein soleil) et la lumière directe du soleil. Évitez l‘exposition à la poussière et au sable, à l‘humidité, à la pluie et aux chocs mécaniques.

• Si l‘unité crée des interférences avec la radio ou la télévision, changez-la d’emplacement.

Manipulation des disquettes (HiFD et standard)

Respectez les étapes ci-dessous pour protéger la disquette et les données :

• Évitez les aimants et les champs magnétiques (TV, radio).

• Évitez les sources de chaleur et l’exposition en plein soleil.

• Ne touchez jamais la surface de la disquette (n’ouvrez pas le volet à la main), le dépôt de saletés sur la surface ou l‘endommagement de la surface risque d‘empêcher la lecture des données et l‘écriture sur la disquette.

• Évitez de laisser des liquides entrer en contact avec les disquettes HiFD/standard.

• Stockez la disquette dans son étui, pas dans le lecteur.
