Handling Precautions - Panasonic CF-VDM302AT Mode D'emploi

Handling Precautions

Do Not Look Into the Drive
Looking directly at the internal laser light source may result in damage to eyesight.
Do Not Use Discs That Are Cracked or Deformed
Because the discs rotate at high speeds, damaged discs may break apart causing injury.
● Discs that are not round and discs that have been repaired using adhesives are similarly
dangerous, and so should not be used.
Drive Handling Care
● Do not expose the drive to excessive smoke that may leave a residue, e.g., oil smoke, or
tobacco smoke. Doing so can shorten the life of the drive lens.
● We recommend cleaning the drive lens with an air puffer used for camera lenses.
(Do not use any spray-type of lens cleaning products.)
When opening/closing the tray
● When the computer is on, use the eject button (
● When inserting or removing a disc, be careful not to touch the lens of the drive.
● Do not leave the tray open and do not touch the lens and other parts of the laser pickup.
The laser pickup and disc can become dusty in some conditions. It may cause
malfunction in reading or writing.
● Do not apply excessive force to the tray in the open position.
● Never insert a foreign object such as a paper clip into the drive.
Doing so may cause malfunction.
● Do not place items other than discs on the tray.
● Do not access the drive until after the tray is closed and the multimedia pocket device
indicator is off.
While the drive is being accessed
Do not open the tray or move the computer while the drive is being accessed.
Doing so could cause the disc to shift position and this may damage the disc, or cause
the drive to malfunction.
In addition, after running an application involving access to a disc, close the application
before opening the tray or removing the disc.
