Usage
Precautions
• Never place items other than CDs or the caddy on the tray.
•
Do
not leave the tray in the open position. Also, never touch the lens area with your
fingers. Should the lens become soiled by dust
or
dirt from your fingers, the unit may no
longer be able to read data from CDs.
• When the tray
is
opened, applying too much force to
it
could cause it to break.
• Opening the
CD-ROM
drive while an application that accesses the CD-ROM drive is
running can cause the computer to hang.
• Cleaning the CD drive using a CD lens cleaner (except the liquid type cleaner) is recom-
mended
if
it malfunctions.
• As soot buildup on the lens shortens its life, do not try to use the computer
under
the
smoky conditions under any circumstances.
• Never insert foreign objects such as paper clips into the slot in the CD-ROM drive.
• Before using the CD-ROM drive for the first time after purchasing it, remove the protec-
r..
tive sheet from the lens area. Also, the protective sheet may be replaced in the CD-ROM
...
drive to provide protection when the unit is moved or jf it will not be used for
an
extended
period
of
time.
To avoid damaging CD-ROMs:
• Do not allow CDs to become dirty or scratched.
• Do not place or store CD-ROM in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or
dust.
• Do not write on the surface
of
the CD with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument.
• If the CD-ROM
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 CD-ROM.
• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top
of
CDs.
• Cleaning the CD using a CD disk cleaner (LF-K022DC)
is
recommended once every 2 or
3 months.
If the CD gets dirty x
After wiping the
CD-ROM
with a moist, soft cloth, wipe it with a
dry cloth. Always wipe from the center toward the edge.
