Cleaning the Heads

The LaCie AIT drive features the Active Head Cleaner™ mechanism, which detects build-up and automatically removes debris, reducing the need for periodic head cleaning. A cleaning cassette may still be required, though, for severe cases of debris build-up that the drive cannot clean itself.

The status LED will flash quickly (see Fig. 1 & 2) to inform you that you need to use the head-cleaning cassette included with your drive. You can use this cleaning cassette approximately 35 times before changing it. When your cleaning cassette has been used too many times, it will no longer be effective and you will need to replace it.

Warning! Only use Sony SDX1-CL AIT cleaning cartridges to clean your LaCie AIT U&I drive, because other cleaning tape models will not work and may damage your drive. Contact LaCie to purchase the correct cleaning cartridges.

To use the cleaning tape, follow the these steps:

1)Insert the cleaning cassette in the drive slot. The tape mechanism will take the tape, load it and start the cleaning process.

2)When the cleaning process is finished, the cassette will be ejected automatically. If the cassette is ejected but the cleaning process has not been completed, the cleaning tape may need to be replaced. Insert a new cleaning cassette and repeat step 2.
