Handling Discs

•Handle discs only by the edges. Do not touch the recording surface of the disc.

•Except where specified by the disc manufacturer or warranty, do not write on or attach labels to discs.

•Do not store discs in a dusty or dirty location, in direct sunlight, near a heater or in a humid location.

•Do not spill liquids on a disc.

•To protect valuable data, always store discs in their cases.

•Gently wipe discs with a soft cloth, from the center straight towards the outer edge.

If a disc is very dirty, wet the cloth with water, wring it out thoroughly, wipe the disc with the damp cloth and then use a dry cloth to wipe any moisture off of the disc.

Do not use benzene, record cleaner, anti-static solutions or other liquids, as they can damage the disc.

•Never wipe a CD-R or CD-RW disc with a cleaning solution before recording data on the disc. Use a blower to blow any dust off of the surface of the disc.

•Scratches or dust on the unrecorded portion of a CD-R or CD-RW disc may prevent proper data recording. Handle discs carefully.

Battery Pack

Considerations

•The correct battery pack for the CRX10U is the Sony NP-F550. One pack is supplied with the drive, but additional packs can be purchased separately.

•The CRX10U does not support the power management feature of the NP- F550 InfoLithium battery pack.

•Charge the battery pack using the CRX10U with the provided AC adapter (AC-CRX10U).

•The battery pack is partially charged before shipping, but you should charge it completely before use.

•The battery pack gradually discharges itself when not being used, so even after it has been fully charged, we recommend recharging before use (if more than a day or two has passed).

•Charge the battery pack where the surrounding temperature is in the range from 10 to 30°C. This will provide longer battery operation.

•If the battery is not used for a long time, it should be charged and then discharged completely before storage, and once each year to maintain its usability.
