Operating Basics

When writing or rewriting

Please observe the following points while you write or rewrite data to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R (Dual Layer), DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R (Double Layer), DVD+RW or DVD-RAM media:

■Always copy data from the hard disk drive to the optical media - do not use the cut-and-paste function as the original data will be lost if there is a write error.

■Do not perform any of the following actions:

■Change users in the Windows 7 operating system.

■Operate the computer for any other function, including such tasks as using a mouse or Touch Pad, or closing/opening the display panel.

■Start a communication application such as a modem.

■Apply impact or vibration to the computer.

■Install, remove or connect external devices, including such items as an ExpressCard, SD/SDHC memory card, miniSD/microSD Card, Smart Card, USB device, external monitor or an optical digital device.

■Use the audio/video control button to reproduce music or voice.

■Open the optical disc drive.

■Do not use shut down, log off, Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode functions while writing or rewriting.

■Make sure that the write/rewrite operation is completed before going into either Sleep Mode or Hibernation Mode (writing is completed if you can remove an optical media on the DVD Super Multi drive).

■If the media is of poor quality, or is dirty or damaged, writing or rewriting errors may occur.

■Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subject to vibration such as airplanes, trains or cars. In addition, do not use the computer on an unstable surface such as a stand.

■Keep mobile phones and other wireless communication devices away from the computer.
