Precautions for Use
Operation and storage conditions
Avoid using or storing the drive in a hot or
humid location, or where it might be subject
to severe vibration or direct sunlight.
On transportation
• Please repack the drive in its original
carton when shipping by itself.
• If the drive is to be shipped while installed
in a PC, remove any disc beforehand.
Whirring noise
During startup, the drive may make a
whirring noise due to balls contained in the
spindle motor. This is normal and does not
indicate a drive malfunction.
Avoiding condensation problems
When you transfer this appliance from a cold
place a hot place abruptly, you may get
water drops on the surface and inside of the
appliance. This is called condensation. If
condensation occurs, turn off the power and
leave the appliance until the condensation
disappears; after the condensation
disappears, you can use the appliance again.
If you use the appliance during
condensation, this may cause the appliance
to malfunction.
Handling discs
• Handle discs only by the edges. Never
touch the recording surface.
• Do not affix labels on discs.
• Do not store discs in dusty, dirty or humid
locations, in direct sunlight, or near heat-
generating devices.
• To protect important data, always keep
discs in their protective cases.
• Do not wipe writable discs to clean them
before recording data. Instead, use a
blower to remove any dust.
• Data may not record properly if a scratch
or dust is present on the unrecorded area of
writable discs. Use special care when
handling.
