Safety Precautions

2

The following diagrams illustrate the precautions to be taken when using
your COMBO drive. 

You must not use the drive in any manner other than that specified in this guide.

Avoid exposing your eyes or skin to direct or scattered radiation.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to repair the COMBO drive yourself. Contact
your dealer or local SAMSUNG representative for all repairs.
If you make any adjustments or perform any operations other
than those specified in this guide, you run the risk of exposure to
hazardous radiation.

WARRANTY

Please refer to the Samsung limited warranty statements.

Precautions

1. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose

this appliance to rain or moisture.

2. Always check each disc for cracks before using it. If there are

cracks on the surfaces, especially around the border of the
center hole, we recommend that you make a copy of the disc
immediately and then stop using it. If you continue using the
disc, it will probably develop more cracks and eventually cause
irreparable damage.

3. Do not use poor quality discs:

From unknown sources

Scratched or damaged in any way
