Optical Drive Precautions

 

Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or

 

cleaning the optical drive.

Operation

n Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to

 

malfunction during reading.

 

n Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as

 

condensation may form inside the unit. If the temperature

 

suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour

 

before you turn off the power. If you operate the unit

 

immediately, it may malfunction while reading.

 

n Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high

 

humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, or direct

 

sunlight.

Cleaning

n Clean the panel and controls with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth

 

lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Never spray

 

cleaning fluids directly on the unit.

 

n Avoid using any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzene,

 

which may damage the finish.

Safety

If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug the computer and have it checked by an authorized HP service provider.
