CD-ROM Drive Precautions
Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or 
cleaning your CD-ROM drive.
Operation
Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to 
malfunction during reading.
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.
Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high 
humidity, extreme temperatures, mechanical vibration, or direct 
sunlight.
Cleaning
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.
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 Compaq service 
provider.
