Precautions for Use
Operation and storage conditions
Avoid using or storing the drive in a hot or 
humid location, or where it might be subject 
to severe vibration or direct sunlight.
On transportation
• Please repack the drive in its original 
carton when shipping by itself. 
• If the drive is to be shipped while installed 
in a PC, remove any disc beforehand. 
Avoiding condensation problems
As much as possible, avoid sudden 
temperature changes. Do not attempt to use 
the drive immediately after moving it from a 
cold to a warm location, or raising the room 
temperature suddenly, as condensation may 
form within the drive. If the temperature 
changes suddenly while using the drive, stop 
using it but keep the power on for at least an 
hour.
Handling discs
• Handle discs only by the edges. Never 
touch the recording surface. 
• Do not affix labels on discs. 
• Do not store discs in dusty, dirty or humid 
locations, in direct sunlight, or near heat-
generating devices. 
• To protect important data, always keep 
discs in their protective cases.
• Do not wipe writable discs to clean them 
before recording data. Instead, use a 
blower to remove any dust. 
• Data may not record properly if a scratch 
or dust is present on the unrecorded area of 
writable discs. Use special care when 
handling.
