mechanical properties of a CD/DVD and cause imbalance.
Damaged and imbalanced CDs/DVDs can break at high drive speeds
(data loss).
Under certain conditions, sharp-edged pieces of broken CDs/DVDs
can penetrate the cover of the drive (cause damage to the device)
and be thrown out of the device (therefore causing injury to
uncovered body parts, particularly the face or neck).
ITo protect the CD/DVD drive and prevent mechanical damage as well as
premature wearing of the CDs/DVDs, you should observe the following
advice:
– Only insert the CDs/DVDs in the drive when needed and remove
them after use.
– Store the CDs/DVDs in suitable sleeves.
– Protect the CDs/DVDs from exposure to heat and direct sunlight.
Note on the laser
The CD/DVD drive is classified as Laser Class 1, according to IEC 60825-1.
VATTENTION!
The CD/DVD drive contains a light-emitting diode (LED) which may
generate a stronger laser beam than laser class 1. It is dangerous to look
directly into the beam.
