OPTIONAL OPTICAL DRIVE AND DISCS

Caring for your discs

CDs and DVD discs are precision devices and will func- tion reliably if given reasonable care.

■Always store your discs in their case when not in use.

■Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface.

■Avoid storing any discs in extreme temperatures.

■Do not bend discs or set heavy objects on them.

■Do not spill liquids on discs.

■Do not scratch discs.

■Do not put a label on discs.

■Do not get dust on discs.

■Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen.

■If a disc is subjected to a sudden change in tempera- ture, cold to warm condensation may form on the sur- face. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry discs.

■If a disc is dirty, use only a disc cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge.

■Use of a commercially-available lens cleaner kit is recommended to maintain the drive lens.

■Avoid using or storing the drive near magnets or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

■Do not disassemble or dismantle the optical drive.

PC CARDS

Caring for your PC Cards

PC Cards are durable, but you must treat them with care. The documentation supplied with your PC Cards provides specific information for caring for the cards.

When you don’t have a PC Card installed in your system, you should be sure to install the PC Card slot inserts that came with your system. These will help to keep dust and dirt out of your system.
