■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-

cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use
a hair dryer or heater to dry discs.

speed. Do not carry it around or subject it to shock or
vibration with the power on.

exposed to extreme temperatures.
■Avoid using or storing the drive where it is damp or
dusty.
■Use of a commercially-available lens cleaner kit is
recommended to maintain the drive lens.

devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
■Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be
subjected to shock or vibration.
■Do not disassemble or dismantle the optical drive.
PC CARDS
Caring for your PC Card Slots
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 inserted in your system,
you should be sure to insert the PC Card slot inserts that
came with your system. These will help to keep dust and
dirt out of your system.
