General Use Precautions

•Do not expose the duplicator to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to op- erational humidity beyond 5-80%, non-condensing, or non-operating humidity beyond 10-90%, non- condensing. Doing so may damage the duplicator or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your duplicator near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your duplicator in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit.

•Rated cooling for altitudes up to 2000 meters.

•Always unplug the duplicator from the electrical outlet if there is a risk

of lightning or if it will be unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.

•Use only the power supply shipped with the device.

•Do not use the duplicator near other electrical appliances such as televisions, radios or speakers. Do- ing so may cause interference which will adversely affect the operation of the other products.

•Do not place the duplicator near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televi- sions or speakers. Magnetic inter-

ference can affect the operation and stability of your duplicator.

•Do not place heavy objects on top of the duplicator or use excessive force on it.

•Never use excessive force on your duplicator. If you detect a problem, consult the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

CAUTION: The LaCie Dupli Disc DVD121's warranty may be void as a result of the failure to respect the precautions listed above.
