On Cleaning CD-ROM and DVD-ROM Discs

￿

Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause read errors. Proper care

 

of the disc is essential to maintain its reliability. Do not use solvents such as

 

benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray, as they may

 

cause damage to the disc.

￿

For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the

 

surface from the center out.

￿

If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well, and

 

use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the center out. Wipe off any remaining

 

moisture with a dry soft cloth.

On Using Batteries

￿

Never leave the battery pack in temperatures above 60° C, such as in a car parked

 

in the sun or under direct sunlight.

￿

Battery life is shorter in a cold environment. This is due to decreased battery

 

efficiency at low temperatures.

￿

Charge the batteries at temperatures between 10° C to 30° C. Lower temperatures

 

require a longer charging time.

￿

While the battery is in use or being discharged, the battery pack heats up. This is

 

normal and is not cause for concern.

￿

Keep the battery pack away from all sources of heat.

￿

Keep the battery pack dry.

￿

Do not open or try to disassemble the battery pack.

￿

Do not expose the battery pack to any mechanical shock.

￿

If you are not using the computer for an extended period of time, remove the

 

battery pack from the computer to prevent damage to the battery.
