The drive you have just purchased includes a laser diode device, which classifies it as a “Laser Class I” product. This laser is not dangerous for the user under normal operating conditions. However, we strongly advise you not to place any reflective objects in the disc loading system, due to the risk of exposure to laser emissions that may be reflected by such objects.

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to use your Amacom drive safely and correctly. Following these guidelines will help to avoid the possibility of personal injury to yourself or others, as well as to prevent damage to your device and other computer equipment. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Read this User Manual carefully, and ensure that you follow the instructions correctly when setting up the device.

Do not look directly or indirectly at the laser diode, even when the device is not in operation.

Do not open your drive or attempt to disassemble

or modify it. This will invalidate your warranty.

Always unplug the drive from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will not be used for an extended period of time.

Use only interface cables and mains adapters supplied by Amacom Technologies Limited, as otherwise damage may occur to your drive and/or your computer, invalidating your warranty.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the drive or use excessive force on its buttons, connectors and tray.

Always place your drive in a horizontal position on a flat, stable surface and away from the edge of the desk before using it.

Always remove the media from the disc tray before transporting your drive.

Never use excessive force on the disc loading system; discs should be inserted effortlessly into your drive.

Protect your drive from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage.

Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth if you need to clean the outside of the drive. Use of chemical cleaning agents or abrasive cloths may cause damage to the drive.
