Avoid using or storing the DVDirect in hot 
or humid locations, or places where it might 
be subject to severe vibration or direct 
sunlight.

• Please repack the DVDirect in its original 

carton when shipping by itself. 

• If the DVDirect is to be shipped, remove 

any disc beforehand. 

Do not expose the DVDirect to sudden 
temperature changes. Do not use the 
DVDirect immediately after moving it from 
a cold to warm location or raising the room 
temperature suddenly, as condensation may 
have formed within the DVDirect. If the 
temperature changes suddenly while using 
the DVDirect, keep the power on, but stop 
using it for at least an hour.

• Handle discs only by the edges. Never 

touch the recording surface. 

• Do not affix labels on discs. 

• Do not store discs in dusty or humid 

locations, in direct sunlight, or near heat-
generating devices. 

• To protect important data, always keep 

discs in their cases.

• Do not wipe writable discs using a disc 

cleaner before recording data. Instead, use 
a blower to remove any dust. 

• Data may not be recorded properly if there 

are scratches or dust on the unrecorded 
area of writable discs. Handle discs very 
carefully.

• Do not drop, bend, or submit the memory 

cards to external shock.

• Do not disassemble or modify the memory 

cards.

• Avoid touching the terminal of a memory 

card or touching it with a metal object.

• Avoid getting liquids on a memory card or 

using them in areas subject to high 
humidity.

• Avoid using or storing a memory card in a 

location subject to:
− extremely high temperature, such as the 

interior of a car, outdoors exposed to 
direct sunlight, or near a heater.

− direct sunlight

− high humidity

− corrosive substances

− excessive dust

− electrostatic or electronic noises

− magnetic fields

• When storing or carrying a memory card, 

keep it in its original case to ensure 
protection of important data.

• Avoid removing a memory card from its 

slot or turning off the power button while 
the DVDirect is accessing it, as data may 
be rendered unreadable.
